Abstract
The primary renal angiosarcoma is a rarely seen highly malignant tumor. Mak ing a diagnosis based on histology may prove difficult. Because of hematoge nous formation of metastases and bad prognosis in most cases we recommend t hat the surgical intervention be followed by the well tolerated systemic ch emotherapy with Doxorubicin and Ifosfamid.
