Abstract
Objectives:
Four cases of spontaneous perirenal hemorrhage are reviewed, with special reference to the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment.
Methods/Results:
Two were due to tumor (sarcomatoid carcinoma and angiomyolipoma) and the rest were secondary to renal lesions. All patients underwent nephrectomy due to hemodynamic instability.
Conclusions:
Nephrectomy appears to be the best treatment since this condition may arise from a malignant tumor which, to date, cannot be determined by any diagnostic method.
