Abstract:
Spontaneous rupture of the kidney is rare. It usually occurs secondary to various kinds of underlying disease such as infection, hydronephrosis, calculous disease, benign or malignant tumor, renal artery aneurysm and arteriosclerosis. In most instances, it is an acute abdominal process which requires early diagnosis and immediate surgical exploration. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of the kidney secondary to renal cell carcinoma in a 44 year-old female.
