Spontaneous Rupture of the Renal Pelvis Due to Extrinsic Obstruction by Metastatic Retroperitoneal Lymphadenopathy

Spontaneous rupture of the renal pelvis due to metastatic disease is a rare complication. Renal pelvis rupture often goes undiagnosed in cases of non-traumatic origin due to its vague abdominal and flank symptoms. We present a case of an 81-year-old male with primary non-small cell lung cancer who h...

description Spontaneous rupture of the renal pelvis due to metastatic disease is a rare complication. Renal pelvis rupture often goes undiagnosed in cases of non-traumatic origin due to its vague abdominal and flank symptoms. We present a case of an 81-year-old male with primary non-small cell lung cancer who had renal pelvis rupture due to extrinsic compression of the ureter by retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy secondary to metastatic disease.
