Abstract:
We present a case of the classical Wünderlich syndrome or circumscribed extracapsular renal hematoma in a 54-year-old male patient who had consulted for an inguinal mass and hemiscrotal ecchymosis. The patient had referred an episode of intense pain in the left renal fossa and the clinical picture of syncope 3-4 days earlier. Surgery disclosed severe perirenal hemorrhage from an undiagnosed renal adenocarcinoma that had ruptured.
