Spontaneous Renal Rupture with Renal Pelvis Transitional Cell Carcinoma / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

Spontaneous renal ruptures are clinically unusual, and usually occur secondary to various kinds of underlying disease, such as a benign or malignant tumor, vascular disease and infection, etc. A renal cell carcinoma is the most common cause, and those caused by a transitional cell carcinoma are extremely rare. Herein is reported our experience of a case of a spontaneous rupture, with a renal pelvis transitional cell carcinoma, in a 48-year-old man.
