Key result
A 42-year-old male with primary renal angiosarcoma mimicking renal cell carcinoma was successfully treated with radical nephrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy, remaining well at one-year follow-up.
Why the study?
Primary renal angiosarcoma is an exceedingly rare renal malignancy typically presenting in the elderly with metastatic disease, and treatment protocols are not standardized.

Incidental primary renal angiosarcoma in a young patient broadens differentials; leaves open standardized management for this rare malignancy.
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.

Carbin et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Primary renal angiosarcoma (n=1). Radical nephrectomy and adjuvant paclitaxel-based chemotherapy was evaluated on Clinical outcome at 1 year. A 42-year-old male with primary renal angiosarcoma mimicking renal cell carcinoma was successfully treated with radical nephrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy, remaining well at one-year follow-up.
