Osteosarcoma metastatic to the kidneys without lung involvement

Symptomatic renal metastasis is very rare in osteosarcoma. A few reported cases had pulmonary metastases before renal involvement. We present a case of metastatic renal osteosarcoma without pulmonary involvement. The patient presented with hematuria 8 years after initial treatment of osteosarcoma of the left distal femur. Computed tomography revealed a bilateral calcified renal mass. The patient died of disease 4 months after detection of the metastases. At autopsy, metastatic osteosarcoma was discovered in the bilateral kidney, both renal veins, inferior vena cava and right atrium. There was no pulmonary involvement. We emphasize the need for renal evaluation for the follow-up of patients with osteosarcoma.
