Sarcomatoid Renal Cell Carcinoma / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

Cases of sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma are very rare. It has been known that sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma is an epithelial cell variant that has been metaplastically transformed with a very poor prognosis. Diagnosis of sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma is performed by examining a nephrectomy specimen to see if epithelial and sarcomatoid components are variously mixed together. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to report five cases of sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma.
