title: Renal angiosarcoma: a rare primary genitourinary malignancy.
abstract: Sarcomatous lesions of the kidney comprise less than 2% of all primary renal malignancies. Angiosarcomas are an exquisitely infrequent histologic type in this setting and are associated with a universally poor prognosis. We report the eighth known case of primary renal angiosarcoma and review the available literature on this rare entity.
