Abstract

Kidney cancer is one of the 10 most common malignancies worldwide. In contrast, spontaneous rupture of a renal tumor is an extremely rare situation, both in the clinic and in descriptions in the literature. In the given paper we describe one such case. The left kidney of a 70-year-old patient hemorrhaged, and initially the cause was not determined. Investigations showed that he suffered from malignant neoplasm of the kidney except for the renal pelvis (C64). This case is unprecedented, due to the fact that there was just a spontaneous rupture of the detected tumor. The probable cause was dual antiplatelet treatment.
