Abstract
Spontaneous ruptures of the kidney sometimes require emergency surgery, at which time
the etiology for the rupture becomes evident. Because the patient with previously
existing renal pathology is asymptomatic, when these ruptures do occur one should
be suspect of underlying disease. We present a case and discuss the relevant aspects
of such entities.
