Résumé
Angiosarcomas developing in nonfunctioning arteriovenous fistulas in renal transplant recipients are quite rare clinical entities with very poor prognosis. Herein we present a 60-year-old male who developed an angiosarcoma in a thrombosed radiocephalic fistula 6 years after renal transplantation. The patient presented with pain and swelling at the site of a previously asymptomatic fistula. The fistula was excised and diagnosis was made by histology. Despite radical surgery with an above-elbow amputation, the patient died of metastatic disease 6 months later.
