Abstract

Haematoma of the upper excretory tract (UET) may be due to trauma to the bladder, ves tves, or may be favored by anticoagulant treatment. The main sign is hematuria. On CT scan, the hematoma presents as an irregular, spontaneously hyperdense lesion, and may mimic a Upper Excretory Tract Tumour (UETT), so a sound diagnostic strategy is essential. We report here a case of pyelocal hematoma in a 68-year-old patient, treated by simple drainage through a double-j catheter with adaptation of the anticoagulant dose.
