Primary renal osteosarcoma is very rare and fatal sarcoma of the kidney, as of 2015, has only been described in 30 cases in the world literature. Histogenesis is still unclear; the metaplastic reversion of connective tissue into primitive mesenchyme with osteoblastic potential is the most plausible theory.
