Abstract

We report a case of clear cell sarcoma of kidney (CCSK), in a young adult. This highly malignant renal tumor usually arises in children of one or two year old and represents 4% of renal tumors. The aggressivity of this tumor and its affinity to give bone metastasis imply to recognize it in order to institute appropriate chemotherapy.
