Sumario: | Calcified renal metastases from osteosarcoma are extremely rare. We present a case of a young female with osteosarcoma of the right ulna who developed late recurrence in the form of large metastatic calcified renal and pulmonary lesions.

A brief review of the calcified renal metastases including the index case is presented. |
