    Author: Koktener A, Unal D, Dilmen G, Koc A.
    Journal: J Emerg Med; 2007 Aug; 33(2):127-9. PubMed ID: 17692761.
    Abstract:
    Rupture of the urinary collecting system associated with peripelvic extravasation of the urine is an unusual condition and commonly associated with obstructing calculus. We report a patient, recently given chemotherapy due to lymphoma, with acute abdomen symptoms. He had a renal pelvis rupture with perirenal extravasation of urine, an uncommon condition due to a stone in the ureter. Diagnosis was suspected on serial ultrasonography, and confirmed by computed tomograhy. Diagnosis, follow-up, and therapeutic approach are discussed.
