It is not clear if metachronous malignant neoplasms represent new primary tumors or metastatic disease. Examples include metachronous osteosarcoma of the bones that develops in patients with known primary bone osteosarcoma, and metachronous Wilms' tumor that affects the opposite kidney in patients with a history of Wilms' tumor.
