RESUMO
A spontaneous rupture of the kidney due to a metastatic choriocarcinoma, which is associated with a normal pregnancy, is very rare. A 33-year-old female patient presented with sudden colicky right flank pain on the 5th day after a Cesarian Section. An abdominal CT scan showed evidence of a right renal rupture with a perirenal hematoma. Under the impression of a spontaneous rupture of right kidney, an exploratory laparotomy with a radical nephrectomy was performed. The pathologic findings revealed a renal parenchymal rupture due to a metastatic choriocarcinoma.
