Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Leiomyosarcoma is a rare soft tissue sarcoma.
  • Renal pelvis leiomyosarcomas are exceptionally uncommon.
  • Diagnosis requires detailed histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis.

Observation:

  • A case of renal leiomyosarcoma originating in the renal pelvis is described.
  • The tumor presented with metastatic lesions in the lungs.

Findings:

  • Immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma.
  • Treatment included surgical resection of primary and metastatic tumors.
  • Adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy were administered.

Implications:
