Two atypical cases of renal leiomyosarcoma: clinical picture, diagnosis and therapy

Arch Ital Urol Androl. 1998 Sep;70(4):199-201.

Abstract

The Authors report two cases of renal leiomyosarcomas with atypical clinical features. Despite a malignant histological picture, nephron-sparing surgery was performed. The two patients are alive and disease-free at six years and fifteen months respectively. Specific radiologic findings, indications and rationale for conservative treatment are discussed.
