Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignant tumor arising from vascular or lymphatic endothelial cells. Angiosarcoma at an arteriovenous fistula site is exceptionally rare. We report a case of a 37-year-old male renal transplant recipient who developed a high-grade epithelioid angiosarcoma at the site of an arteriovenous fistula six years post-transplant.

Primary renal epithelioid angiosarcoma (EAS) is extremely rare and carries a poor prognosis. Herein, we present a case of renal EAS in an 81-year-old male patient who complained of hematuria for 1 year. A computerized tomography (CT) scan revealed an occupying lesion at the upper pole of the left kidney, with scattered calcifications, along with retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis and possible lung metastasis.

We present a case of biopsy-proven epithelioid angiosarcoma in an arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Angiosarcomas developing in non-functioning AVF in renal transplant recipients are rare clinical entities with poor prognosis. A 59-year-old male adequately immunosuppressed kidney transplant patient presented with pain and swelling at the site of a previously asymptomatic fistula.

Article Synopsis
  • Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that primarily affect the skin and soft tissues, with anastomosing hemangioma (AH) being a specific subtype that mimics more serious conditions like angiosarcoma; there are fewer than 300 reported cases of renal hemangiomas.
  • A case study of a 28-year-old male revealed a left renal mass identified during tests for abdominal pain, with subsequent imaging and surgery confirming the diagnosis of AH through histopathological analysis and specific immunohistochemical markers.
  • Accurate diagnosis of AH is crucial to avoid unnecessary treatment and complications, highlighting the need for greater awareness and reporting in the medical community to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient management.
