Urology. 2000 Oct 1;56(4):669. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(00)00728-7.

Abstract

Renal leiomyosarcomas are rare mesenchymal sarcomas. Although such tumors arising from the renal vein or kidney have been previously reported, we present the first case of a leiomyosarcoma arising from the main renal artery managed by laparoscopic radical nephrectomy.
