To discuss diagnostic challenges and management outcomes of bleeding renal tumors, particularly papillary renal cell carcinoma.
Case report of a man in his 60s with a ruptured renal tumor and subsequent treatment.
Initial conservative treatment led to temporary tumor shrinkage before radical nephrectomy was performed.
Follow-up imaging assessed tumor progression over four years.
Initial conservative treatment resulted in tumor regression but significant regrowth occurred after four years.
The diagnosis confirmed papillary renal cell carcinoma, emphasizing the risk of spontaneous bleeding.
The case highlights the need for careful monitoring and consideration of renal cell carcinoma in bleeding cases.
