Abstract
Primary renal osteosarcoma is an uncommon disease,which,unlike its skeletal counterpart,presents mostly in adults,and is generally diagnosed late due to its non-specific features and intra-abdominal location. Even if the disease is localized at diagnosis,it follows an aggressive course despite radical surgery and adjuvant treatment. We report a case of renal osteosarcoma in a 65-year-old female,who developed regional recurrence,and lung and bone metastases soon after radical nephrectomy for localized disease. Chemotherapy was ineffective in controlling systemic disease.
