Primary renal angiosarcoma, a rare neoplasm, was diagnosed in a patient presenting with hematuria, abdominal mass, and anemia, confirmed by immunohistochemistry.
Case Report (n=1)
Primary renal angiosarcoma is a rare neoplasm that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal hematoma and hemorrhagic renal tumors.
Alerts clinicians to include this entity in differentials for hemorrhagic renal lesions; extends sparse literature but leaves management questions open.
Primary renal Angiosarcoma is a rare neoplasm and only 24 cases have been reported in specialized literature. We describe a case of primary renal angiosarcoma in a patient presenting with hematuria, palpable abdominal mass, left flank pain and anemia. A computerized tomography of the abdomen with contrast medium showed a tumor with 15 cm diameter, in the upper pole of the left kidney, with a low-density central area, suggesting necrosis or hemorrhage. Diagnosis was given in a morphologic base and proven by an immunohistochemical study. Primary renal angiosarcoma should be included among differential diagnosis of retroperitoneal hematoma and hemorrhagic renal tumors.
