We report a case of perirenal hematoma post ESWL in a patient with controlled hypertension and a previously undiagnosed stage T1 kidney neoplasm. The foregoing complication can be partly ascribed to the renal tumor. It must therefore be taken into account that a small kidney mass may be overlooked during urography and consequently an ultrasound study of the kidney should be done before the patient is submitted to X-ray-guided lithotripsy.
