Spontaneous hematoma under the renal capsula is a rare pathology. The authors report two cases with one male and one female aged respectively of 50 and 63 years. The symptomatology is presented by right renal aches associated with repetitive and total hematuria in male and atypical abdominal aches in female. The radiological explorations (IVP, renal sonography and Computered Tomography) had conclude in a renal cancer in the two cases. The diagnosis is made by the pathologic study. Some etiology may be searched such as malignant tumor, an angiomyolipoma, vascular abnormalities and disturbance to the hemostasis.
