Summary1 A brief review of the history of essential haematuria has been made. 2 The clinical and pathological findings in a series of seven cases of essential haematuria submitted to nephrectomy is given. 3 It is suggested that management should tend towards conservatism, with repeated and prolonged follow‐up investigation. However one cannot give an absolute assurance that a malignant neoplasm is not present, and it is surprising in this small series how much pressure was brought to bear by patients and relatives in favour of nephrectomy, for this reason.
