[Acute abdomen, as diagnostic cause of renal adenocarcinoma].
We report a case of renal adenocarcinoma that was diagnosed after an emergency nephrectomy procedure. The patient had presented with a typical acute abdomen. The diagnostic methods and treatment are briefly discussed. The uncommon form of presentation (renal adenocarcinoma coexisting with multiple renal abscesses presenting as acute abdomen) prompted us to report this case.
