- Figure 1.
Abdominal-pelvic (A) transverse and (B) coronal computed tomography with contrast shows an abscess measuring 2.6 × 1.6 × 1.8 cm with a volume of 3.89 cc in the lower pole of the right kidney.
- Figure 2.
Abdominal-pelvic (A) transverse and (B) coronal computed tomography with contrast shows a perirenal hematoma with dimensions of 10 × 7.3 × 5.4 cm and a volume of 205 cc in the posterior region of the right kidney.
- Figure 3.
Macroscopic examination of the kidney revealed a hemorrhagic surface and laceration, with parenchymal rupture 0.6 cm deep, barely into the renal medulla.
- Figure 4.
(A) Histologic section shows a vast hemorrhagic area with fibrin (arrow) next to renal parenchyma showing chronic pyelonephritis; however, (B) another section revealed acute inflammatory process beneath the hemorrhage. Therefore, acute pyelonephritis preceded the parenchymal rupture and hemorrhage.
