Objective: To describe the case of a patient with gross hematuria. The pathological study revealed a subepithelial hematoma of the renal pelvis (Antopol-Goldman lesion).
Methods/results: An 86 year-old woman presented with gross hematuria through the right ureteral orifice. A filling defect is visualized in the right renal pelvis on CT and right nephroureterectomy was carried out after the diagnosis of suspicious upper urinary tract tumor. The pathological study revealed the presence of a subepithelial hematoma without evidence of malignancy.
Conclusion: Antopol-Goldman lesion is a benign condition that one must have in mind in the work up of patients with hematuria and filling defects in the urinary tract who present a predisposing factor for pyelic hematoma.

Unlabelled: Subepithelial haemorrhage of the renal pelvis is a rare cause of haematuria and can be diagnosed based on radiographic findings. This haemorrhage often appears as a non-enhancing hyperdense mass in the renal pelvis on computed tomography, which sometimes results in unnecessary nephrectomy because it can mimic renal neoplasms. It can be managed conservatively, and its prognosis is generally benign.

Spontaneous suburothelial hemorrhage (SSH), also known as Antopol Goldman lesion, is a rare condition characterized by spontaneous bleeding into the renal sinus and proximal ureter wall. This case report describes the clinical presentation, imaging findings, and management of SSH in a 20-year-old female initially suspected to have urothelial malignancy. Imaging features of SSH include pre-contrast hyperdensity and non-enhancing thickening of the pelviureteric wall, which can mimic transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) and lead to unnecessary interventions.

Lésion d'Antopol-Goldman (Antopol-Goldman lesion) is a rare condition characterized by renal pelvic subepithelial hematoma simulating a neoplastic process. A 71-year-old lady presented with macroscopic hematuria and hypoenhancing mass lesion at the upper pole of left kidney. The patient underwent a radical nephrectomy for suspected renal cell carcinoma.
