Primary osteogenic sarcoma of the kidney.
Primary renal osteogenic sarcoma is a rare tumour which requires differentiation from osteoid formation in sarcomatoid variants of renal cell carcinoma. The diagnosis in this case was suggested pre-operatively by marked elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase in the absence of bone disease. The poor prognosis is emphasized.
