Abstract

Renal pelvic hematoma (Antopol Goldman lesion) is a rare but significant condition that may clinically mimick a renal or a pelvic neoplasm. Differential diagnosis and optimal treatment are still not known certainly. A 80-year-old male patient admitted to the emergency department with gross hematuria/clot retention and right flank pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging revealed a filling defect in the right renal pelvis. Diagnostic flexible uretrorenoscopy was performed and a renal pelvic tumor was excluded. A 6 Fr double J (DJ) ureteral catheter was placed for 4 weeks while the patient was under an antifibrinolytic therapy. Filling defect was not detected at 3(rd) month control MRI. During 6 months of the follow-up period, gross hematuria or any abnormal radiological finding was not encountered.
