Spontaneous subcapsular renal hematoma is rare and essentially associated with malignant, or benign tumor vascular diseases, inflammatory processes. In few cases, no cause was detected. We observed one additional case in a diabetic women. She presented fever, and bilateral flank pain. Ultrasonography showed bilateral subcapsular hematoma. Computed tomography confirmed these findings and demonstrated multiple area of acute focal pyelonephritis.
