Key result
Radical nephrectomy fails to prevent rapid metastatic death in primary renal angiosarcoma with venous thrombosis.
Why the study?
Primary angiosarcoma of the kidney presenting with renal vein thrombus is extremely rare and aggressive, conferring a poor prognosis with limited therapeutic options.

Primary renal angiosarcoma with renal vein thrombus is an extremely rare and aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options.
Primary angiosarcoma of the kidney is extremely rare and aggressive cancer when it presents renal vein thrombus. This presentation confers poor prognosis, with limited therapeutic options. We present a case that began with anemia and macroscopic hematuria. At diagnosis, computed tomography (CT) showed thrombosis of the left renal vein, and a radical nephrectomy was performed. Histological examination revealed a carcinoma of the collecting ducts of Bellini, with immunohistochemistry positive for epithelioid angiosarcoma.
