SARCOMATOID RENAL CELL CARCINOMA WITH HEMOPTYSIS A RARE CASE REPORT
Abstract
Renal cell carcinomas are rare tumours
and sarcomatoid renal cell carcinomas are
even more uncommon. Clearcell and chromophil
components are the most common
carcinomatous constituents in sarcomatoid
renal cell carcinomas. These tumours usually
present with a triad of haematuria, abdominal
pain and an abdominal mass with
more than 80 percent of patients presenting
with metastasis. We describe a 62 -
year old man with metastatic sarcomatoid
renal cell carcinoma at presentation who
underwent radical nephrectomy and splenectomy
but succumbed prior to initiation
of chemotherapy.
