Late recurrence of clear cell sarcoma of the kidney

Clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) is a rare pediatric neoplasm with particular propensity for bone metastasis that requires aggressive therapy. We report a patient with CCSK who was misreported as having Wilm's tumour at the time of initial diagnosis and received only minimal therapy. The disease recurred locally-after 8 years, with no evidence of distant metastasis. Important clinical and histologic features of CCSK are described, along with a review of the literature.
