Özet

Renal infarction is a rare cause of acute flank and abdominal pain. It usually occurs in patients with cardiac disease or a history associated with a high risk of thromboembolism. Malignancy is a well known hypercoagulable state. We herein report the first case of colon adenocarcinoma complicated with renal infarction, presenting with flank pain and hematuria mimicking renal colic. The clinical presentation of the patient was suggestive of nephrolithiasis. Contrast enhanced computerized tomography made the final diagnosis of renal infarction and the underlying colon cancer. A high index of clinical suspicion is warranted for the diagnosis of both renal infarction and the underlying rare causes like adenocarcinomas.
