open access
Abstract
Spontaneous bleeding from the kidney parenchyma manifested as Wunderlich syndrome is extremely rare. The most common cause of bleeding is angiomiolipoma. Less often are drug-induced vasculitis, kidney cancer, pheochromocytoma or renal cyst. We present the case of 40-year old man with symptoms of septic shock due to infected kidney haematoma as the first symptom of renal cell carcinoma.
