Sumario:The novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) is one of the most recent Pandemics that invaded the earth and is still active. It caused and is still causing hundreds of thousands of patients high morbidity and mortality rates, with no definitive cure at this moment. COVID-19 has been proven to be associated with pathologic changes in coagulation, characterized by either thromboembolic or bleeding events. We describe this case of a 44-year-old male patient who walked into our emergency department with flank pain and was later discovered to have had renal angiomyolipoma (AML) rupture during his COVID-19 infection, ultimately requiring admission for hemorrhage control via interventional radiology (IR) drainage. Here, we discuss the role of front-line physicians and how they should keep a low threshold for the different presentations that could be associated with COVID-19 infection, such as what was found in this case.
