Abstract

Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the kidney is an uncommon tumor associated with a very poor prognosis. Because this tumor can be occasionally difficult to distinguish from renal sarcoma, immunohistochemistry and electronmicroscopy are sometimes necessary for diagnosis. Therapy is actually essentially surgical because if adjuvant therapies should follow radical nephrectomy, no standardized regimen has been at present defined.
