Background: Clear cell sarcoma of kidney is a distinct renal neoplasm of childhood with an incidence of about 4% amongst all pediatric tumors. Though it is the most notorious for bone metastasis, clear cell sarcoma can metastasize to regional lymph nodes, lungs, liver & brain. The tumor is very malignant with a higher relapse rate and wider distribution of metastases than Wilm’s tumor.
