Lymphangitic Retroperitoneal Carcinomatosis Occurring From Metastatic Sarcomatoid Chromophobe Renal Cell Carcinoma

چکیده
Forty -five year-old man with left renal mass underwent nephrectomy to reveal 20cm tumor diagnosed as sarcomatoid chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (CRCC). Lymph node metastasis of chromophobe and sarcomatoid components, disseminated tumor in retroperitoneal fat, lymphatic vessels, peri-renal adipose tissue in lymphangitic carcinomatosis pattern were identified. Chromophobe epithelial cells EMA, c-Kit, cytokeratin 7 positive; sarcomatoid cells were CD10, SMA positive with high proliferation index . Chromophobe epithelial cells had loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in chromosomes 1p, 1q while sarcomatoid cells had LOH in 3p,1p, 1q. In conclusion, sarcomatoid CRCC has aggressive biologic behavior and potential to metastasize in unusual patterns.

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 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...

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...

Sarcomatoid change in renal cell carcinoma is the result of the dedifferentiation of the "parent" tumor into a high-grade malignancy characterized by sarcoma-like features and associated with an accelerated clinical course and poorer prognosis. Any of the renal cell carcinoma subtypes can undergo sarcomatoid dedifferentiation, with the chromophobe variant being the most prone. The present repor...
