Spontaneous subcapsular renal hematoma (SPH) is a rare diagnostic dilemma in clinical practice. We report a strange case of SPH in COVID-19 patients. A 40-year-old female patient who had no past medical history of urogenital disorder was taken to the emergency room with acute abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. She was found to have a subcapsular, non-expanding, non-pulsatile retroperitoneal hematoma in the periphery of the right kidney based on surgical exploration. Symptoms and size of the collection decreased on conservative treatment. We suggest that COVID-19 can cause a spontaneous hemorrhage in healthy and young people.
