Abstract
We describe our experience with a case of spontaneous renal rupture. A 43-year-old man visited our hospital with a chief complaint of left back pain with no identifiable triggering factors. A CT scan showed a rupture involving the left renal parenchyma and hematoma around the kidney. However, there were no apparent causes of the renal rupture, such as tumors and vascular lesions. Based on these findings, he was diagnosed with spontaneous renal rupture. Due to progression of anemia during the course, he underwent transcatheter arterial embolization of the kidney. He continues to undergo imaging examinations on a regular basis and has shown no development of apparent neoplastic lesions for 13 months.
