肉瘤約佔萬臟惡性腫瘤百分之二~三 但是其發生率隨年齡增加。橫紋肌肉瘤為最常見之型態,約佔腎臟肉瘤百分之六十。而血管肉瘤並不常見,約佔腎臟肉瘤百分之一~三。血管肉瘤可見內皮細胞排列於血管腔內,其最常見於皮膚、乳房、肝臟、牌臟和骨頭。原發性腎臟血管肉瘤非常少有,就目前文獻所知僅有十五個病例被報導於英文文獻。我們提出一例新病例和文獻回顧。
Primary renal angiosarcoma is very rare. To our knowledge, only 15 cases (14 males and 1 female) have been reported to date. Although it can be treated by surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, the prognosis remains poor. We report the second case of female renal angiosarcoma in the world with review of literature.(J Urol R.O.C., 10:182-186,1999)
