Primary renal angiosarcoma with renal vein thrombus: Case report and Review of literature
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.
