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. Macroscopically a 3.5cm circumscribed hemorrhagic mass lesion was noted flush with the upper pole pelvicalyceal system. Microscopic examination revealed a pelvic subepithelial (suburothelial) organizing hematoma. Extensive sampling did not reveal any neoplastic etiology. The adjacent renal parenchyma and renal vessels were unremarkable. Antopol-Goldman lesion is a diagnostic quagmire, often culminating in unnecessary nephrectomy. This is a rare entity, and clinical awareness as a differential of renal filling defect can preclude a nephrectomy, we hereby discuss its clinico-pathological and treatment implications.

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.

Antopol Goldman lesion is a renal pelvis subepithelial hematoma or hemorrhage, a sporadic disease. Although the causes are not well established yet, multiple factors were linked. Radiology is the cornerstone for the diagnosis.
