    Summary

    Spontaneous renal bleeding, often caused by kidney tumors, requires careful diagnosis. Radical nephrectomy is recommended for non-filiated renal neoplasia when other causes are ruled out and the other kidney is healthy.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Urologic Oncology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Wunderlich's syndrome is characterized by spontaneous, non-traumatic renal hemorrhage.
    • Differential diagnosis includes renal trauma, vascular anomalies, and infections.
    • Renal neoplasia is an increasingly recognized cause of spontaneous retroperitoneal bleeding.

    Observation:

    • A case of spontaneous renal bleeding secondary to renal neoplasia is presented.
    • Diagnostic workup involved imaging and laboratory tests to exclude other etiologies.
    • The patient presented with classic symptoms of acute flank pain and hematuria.

    Findings:

    • Renal neoplasia was identified as the primary cause of bleeding.
    • Other potential causes of Wunderlich's syndrome were systematically excluded.

  • Contralateral kidney function was confirmed to be normal.

    • Implications:

    • Radical nephrectomy is indicated for non-filiated renal neoplasia causing spontaneous renal bleeding.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention can prevent life-threatening hemorrhage.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering renal tumors in the differential diagnosis of Wunderlich's syndrome.
