title: [Chronic perirenal hematoma following an overlooked kidney injury. Problems in diagnosis].
abstract: Five cases of chronic perirenal hematoma are reported. Preoperative tests were performed to assess the malignant or benign nature of the lesions which were observed some time after the dramatic episode which marked their onset. The varying characteristics of the disease showed by different imaging techniques (urography, arteriography, US, CAT) are such that only surgery can remove all doubts in the majority of cases.
