title: Computed tomography of primary renal osteosarcoma.
abstract: Primary renal osteosarcoma, a rare malignancy, was diagnosed preoperatively based on its unusual imaging features. The CT demonstration of a peripherally located renal mass containing ossification suggests the diagnosis of renal osteosarcoma. This diagnosis is clinically significant due to the poor prognosis of patients with this tumor even when surgically resectable.
