Abstract

Angiosarcomas account for 2% of all soft tissue sarcomas and of them, primary renal angiosarcomas represent 1%. Twenty-four cases have been published in the English specialised literature. We report the second case to be described in a middle-aged female, with pulmonary metastases at diagnosis, and fatal outcome despite surgery and chemotherapy.
