Reports the first case of renal angiosarcoma in a woman, highlighting the importance of histologic and immunohistochemical findings for accurate diagnosis.
Renal angiosarcoma may mimic RCC in women; this first case leaves open questions on epidemiology and optimal management.
We report the first case of angiosarcoma in the kidney occurring in a woman; the tumor was initially believed to be renal cell carcinoma. This malignant tumor was discovered in a patient with macrohematuria. The final diagnosis was confirmed by histologic and immunohistochemical findings. A review of the literature on this tumor is also included in the discussion.
