Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid changes: case report and review of literature
Journal Title: Central European Journal of Urology - Year 2014, Vol 67, Issue 1
Abstract
Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (RCC), a subtype of RCC, accounts for 4–6% of all RCC and has better prognosis then conventional RCC. Sarcomatoid dedifferentiation is thought to represent the high–grade end of all subtypes. This makes chromophobe RCC with sarcomatoid changes a rare entity associated with poor prognosis in most studies. We present a case of a 40–year old female with this rare histology, with the tumour localised to the renal capsule, managed with nephrectomy and with close follow–up thereafter. The patient is free of disease after one year of treatment.
