Abstract
Real cancer incidence is on the rise mostly due to the overuse of imaging modalities for unrelated reasons. However despite the diagnosis of more renal cancer cases in earlier stages renal cancer is still one of the more fatal malignancies. Another reason that partly accounts for this is the heterogeneity of renal tumors even within the major histologic type, Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). Here we will describe a case of a sarcomatoid type RCC that resulted in early postoperative mortality of a patient with a clinically organ-confined tumor. A discussion on the histologic subtypes of RCC and their clinical implications will follow.
