Scand J Urol Nephrol. 1994 Dec;28(4):415-7. doi: 10.3109/00365599409180524.

Abstract

Spontaneous rupture of the kidney is an uncommon entity. In most cases the non-traumatic rupture is associated with underlying diseases of the kidney, the most frequent being renal tumours. We report the case of a spontaneous kidney rupture due to a renal metastasis from an adenocarcinoma of the colon.
