Primary Renal Angiosarcoma Mimicking Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report.

Danny Darlington1, Fatima Shirly Anitha2.   

Abstract

Primary renal angiosarcoma is an exceedingly rare malignancy of the kidney. It usually presents in the elderly with metastatic disease and dismal prognosis. Treatment protocols are not standardized for this very rare renal malignancy. We report the case of a young man who was incidentally diagnosed with primary renal angiosarcoma. Preoperative imaging was suggestive of renal cell carcinoma; however, postoperative histopathological examination confirmed it to be an angiosarcoma. The patient was treated with surgical excision followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and is doing well at one-year follow-up.
