Spontaneous kidney rupture as the initial manifestation of polyarteritis nodosa is rare. We present 4 such patients who underwent nephrectomy. We suggest primary nephrectomy in patients with spontaneous kidney rupture and resultant retroperitoneal hematoma in whom no preoperative diagnosis is available.
