If it breaks into the retroperitoneum, the hemorrhage is limited to form hematoma, abdominal pain and hemorrhagic shock can last for several hours or days, but the hematoma may rupture into the peritoneal cavity again and die. The tumor can also break into the inferior vena cava, resulting in aortic venous fistula and heart failure. Occasionally, the tumor may break into the duodenum and cause massive gastrointestinal bleeding.
