Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma with Sarcomatoid Differentiation

Sarcomatoid Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma with Heterologous Component

Clear cellrenal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common malignant renal tumor in adults, while chromophobe RCC (CRCC) is the third most common. Any subtypes of RCC can undergo sarcomatoid differentiation, but heterologous differentiation in sarcomatoid area is very rare in RCC. Here a61-year male is presented with hematuria and palpable mass. Clinicoradiologically, RCC was considered and left r...

Sarcomatoid Transrormation of Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma

Sarcomatoid Carcinoma of Renal Pelvis Involving Ureter and Renal Parenchyma with Heterologous Osteosarcomatous Differentiation: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a high‑grade rare malignant tumor with both epithelial and mesenchymal components. Sarcomatoid carcinoma in the upper urinary tract is very rare. We reported here a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma of renal pelvis with osteosarcomatous differentiation, with involvement of the ureter and renal parenchyma in a 68-year-old female. Histologically, predominant pleomorphic spind...

Sarcomatoid Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma with osteosarcoma-like Differentiation which Presented as a Retroperitoneal Mass: A Case Report Retroperitoneal Kitle Olarak Saptanan Osteosarkomatöz Farklılaşma Gösteren Sarkomatoid Kromofob Renal Hücreli Karsinom: Olgu Sunumu

Sarcomatoid component can occur in all histological subtypes of renal cell carcinoma but most commonly accompanies chromophobe renal cell carcinoma. The majority of the sarcomatoid components consist of malignant fibrous histiocytoma, fibrosarcoma or undifferentiated sarcoma areas. Heterologous differentiation in the form of osteosarcoma or rhabdomyosarcoma is very rarely encountered. We report...

Osteosarcoma-like divergent differentiation in sarcomatoid renal cell tumor. A rare entity whose diagnosis may be difficult.

A sarcomatoid component can occur in all histologic subtypes of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and indicates an aggressive tumor. It is reported in literature that the sarcomatoid component can resemble fibrosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma or rhabdomyosarcoma. We describe the case of a 59-years old patient diagnosed with a chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, presenting a very rare osteosarcom...
