Abstract

Spontaneous perirenal hematoma can occur during the course of a varied group of diseases. It is not a rare disease. The diagnosis is based on either the sudden or insidious onset of abdominal or flank pain, abdominal distention, the symptoms and signs of internal bleeding, and the appearance of a mass in either upper quadrant. The picture of the acute surgical condition of the abdomen is often seen. The treatment is surgery and prognosis depends upon the underlying disease, the degree of hemorrhage and the promptness of treatment. We experienced one case of spontaneous perirenal hematoma due to metastatic choriocarcinoma only to the perirenal fat, not renal parenchyme.
