It is more commonly seen in an elderly male patient with typical complains of haematuria, flank pain and lump. Recently incidental diagnosis of small RCCs has been rising due to increased used of abdominal imaging for other reasons. Spontaneous rupture of a renal mass leading to large perinephric collection and presenting as an acute pain abdomen in an adult male is a rare finding but should be considered as a differential diagnosis. The most common cause of spontaneously ruptured renal mass includes benign tumor as angiomyolipoma followed by malignant tumor like RCC, vascular causes, coagulation defects and infection in other cases. Contrast enhanced CT scan is the most common imaging modality used for diagnosis. Initial resuscitation depending up on the patient’s general condition followed by nephrectomy for malignant tumors and embolization for benign tumors is the treatment of choice.}
