title: [Spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage].
abstract: We report three cases of spontaneous retroperitoneal hemorrhage; two patients had a ruptured angiomyolipoma and one had a Wünderlich's syndrome. They had presented with the so called Lenk's triad. The definitive diagnosis was made on the CT findings and treatment was by nephrectomy (cases 1 and 2) and simple evacuation of the hematoma (case 3). The clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects are briefly discussed.
