Abstract

Hematuria is a warning and serious symptom of the disease with a broad spectrum. Although it first brings to mind diseases related to benign pathologies at young ages, it is one of the clinical markers for cancer, especially in the elderly and requires further investigation. There are some risk factors for cancer-induced hematuria such as male gender, age >35, analgesic abuse, chronic hemodialysis, radiation exposure or carcinogens. Additionally, rare diseases should not be ignored in the differential diagnosis of hematuria. Here, we present an extremely rare case of renal rhabdomyosarcoma of kidney in an elderly female patient who was admitted to the emergency department with hematuria.
