Primary renal epithelioid angiosarcoma (EAS) is extremely rare and carries a poor prognosis. Herein, we present a case of renal EAS in an 81-year-old male patient who complained of hematuria for 1 year. A computerized tomography (CT) scan revealed an occupying lesion at the upper pole of the left kidney, with scattered calcifications, along with retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis and possible lung metastasis. A laparoscopic palliative nephrectomy was performed, and postoperative pathology confirmed a malignant tumor with necrosis in the left kidney. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) revealed positive expression for CD31, CD10, and vimentin, consistent with the diagnosis of EAS. Although EAS is a rare, aggressive, and often misdiagnosed condition, IHC can help confirm its diagnosis, and in our case, the scattered calcifications observed on CT imaging might be helpful in its differential diagnosis.
原发性肾上皮样血管肉瘤(EAS)极为罕见,预后较差。在此,我们报告一例81岁男性肾EAS患者,该患者主诉血尿1年。计算机断层扫描(CT)显示左肾上极有占位性病变,伴有散在钙化,同时有腹膜后淋巴结转移及可能的肺转移。行腹腔镜姑息性肾切除术,术后病理证实左肾为伴有坏死的恶性肿瘤。免疫组织化学(IHC)显示CD31、CD10和波形蛋白呈阳性表达,符合EAS的诊断。尽管EAS是一种罕见、侵袭性强且常被误诊的疾病,但IHC有助于确诊,在我们的病例中,CT成像上观察到的散在钙化可能有助于其鉴别诊断。
