Renal metastases
from primary osteosarcomas are rather uncommon and rarely diagnosed early because the patients are asymptomatic and frequently die from other metastatic involvement before renal symptoms develop. The authors present a patient with two clinically silent renal metastases from primary
osteosarcoma
of the right femur 2 years after surgery of the primary lesion that was first detected on radionuclide bone imaging. Subsequently, a CT scan and a CT guided needle biopsy were performed for confirmation. The patient underwent a left nephrectomy and two separate lesions were proven to be metastatic osteosarcoma. The clinical importance of the nuclear bone scan in the initial management, as well as in the subsequent follow-up of patients after surgery, cannot be overemphasized.

Renal metastases
of
osteogenic sarcoma
are unusual clinical occurrence and cases of
osteogenic sarcoma
treated by nephrectomy for renal metastases have been rarely reported. We report a 19-year-old male who was successfully treated by left nephrectomy for a metastatic tumor of
osteogenic sarcoma
from the right femur. In 1989 above-knee amputation was performed and the initial relapse with right pulmonary metastasis was treated by right upper lobectomy in 1991. In February 1992 he developed left renal and left pulmonary metastasis, hence left nephrectomy and left upper lobectomy were performed. Metastases of
osteogenic sarcoma
to the organs other than the lung and bone will increase because of the improvement of diagnostic modalities. Our study suggests that a bone scan is useful for routine follow-up of patients with
osteogenic sarcoma
and that resection of the metastatic lesion can improve these patients' quality of life.

A 16-year old female presented painful masses in the lumbar region 5 years after the initial diagnosis of a localized osteosarcoma of the tibia. Abdominal X-ray revealed calcified masses. A bone scan confirmed an increased uptake in the renal areas. An ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of metastases. The procedure was complicated by subcapsular hemorrhage and gross hematuria.
Renal metastases
from
osteosarcoma
are usually asymptomatic and invisible on abdominal X-rays. The diagnosis is generally established by radionuclide bone scan or abdominal CT-scan. Our observation suggests that histological documentation of these unusual clinical presentations should be carefully weighed against the risk of the procedure.
