title: Antopol-Goldman lesion: a rare clinical entity in the differential diagnosis of macroscopic hematuria.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the case of a patient with gross hematuria. The pathological study revealed a subepithelial hematoma of the renal pelvis (Antopol-Goldman  lesion).
  
  
  RESULTS
  An 86 year-old woman presented with gross hematuria through the right ureteral orifice. A filling defect is visualized in the right renal  pelvis on CT and right nephroureterectomy was carried out after the diagnosis of suspicious upper urinary tract tumor. The pathological study revealed the presence of a subepithelial  hematoma without evidence of malignancy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Antopol-Goldman lesion is a benign condition that one must have in mind in the work up of patients with hematuria and filling defects in the urinary  tract who present a predisposing factor for pyelic hematoma.
