[Clinical assessment and treatment of spontaneous perirenal hemorrhage].

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.
