title: Spontaneous retroperitoneal renal hemorrhage: imaging and angiographic findings in five patients.
abstract: The authors describe one case and report four other of pathologically proven spontaneous retroperitoneal renal hemorrhage due to a ruptured hemorrhagic cyst (2 cases), a renal cell carcinoma, an angiomyolipoma, and a tubular adenoma. The contribution of US, CT, and angiography to the diagnosis is discussed and the recent literature is reviewed.
