Abstract:
Hemangiosarcomas are rare tumors of endothelial cell origin. To date, only 20 cases of hemangiosarcoma have been described after renal transplantation, occurring mostly in the skin or in a dialysis fistula. We report a primary metastasizing hemangiosarcoma arising from a renal allograft. The patient was treated with transplant nephrectomy, discontinuation of immunosuppression, and immunostimulation with pegylated interferon-α-2a and has now been in complete remission for 3 years.
