SUBEPITHELIAL HEMATOMA OF RENAL PELVIS MIMICKING A NEOPLASM; A CASE REPORT
Abstract
Sub epithelial hematoma of the renal pelvis is rare entity without known aetiology. Although many associations of the condition has been described. Patient usually present with flank pain and hematuria. Although the condition is benign and resolves with time but it is crucial to be diagnosed and differentiated from renal neoplasm, to prevent unnecessary nephrectomy. We present a case of a 55 year old female presented with flank pain and hematuria. CECT showed subepithelial hematoma as hyperdensity in right renal pelvis and proximal ureter. Patient was advised follow up USG scan to ensure resolution of the lesion and rule-out any
underlying neoplasm.
