Angiosarcoma is a rare malignant tumour occurring in less than 2% of soft tissue sarcomas. Angiosarcoma involving the kidney usually represents metastasis from skin or visceral primary lesions, while angiosarcoma primarily occurring in the kidney is a very rare neoplasm. We report a case of angiosarcoma of the right kidney in a 59-year-old male. The computed tomography scan showed a solid tumour with a low increased density after administration of contrast medium. Histological examination of the piece of nephrectomy confirmed the diagnosis.
血管肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,在软组织肉瘤中发生率低于2%。累及肾脏的血管肉瘤通常代表皮肤或内脏原发性病变的转移,而主要发生在肾脏的血管肉瘤是一种非常罕见的肿瘤。我们报告一例59岁男性右肾血管肉瘤病例。计算机断层扫描显示一个实性肿瘤,注射造影剂后密度轻度增加。肾切除标本的组织学检查确诊了该诊断。
