Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a highgrade rare malignant tumor with both epithelial and mesenchymal components. Sarcomatoid carcinoma in the upper urinary tract is very rare. We reported here a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma of renal pelvis with osteosarcomatous differentiation, with involvement of the ureter and renal parenchyma in a 68-year-old female. Histologically, predominant pleomorphic spindle cell sarcoma component with osteoid production and urothelial carcinoma component with in situ areas were identified. Immunohistochemical analysis showed vimentin positivity in sarcomatous component and cytokeratin positivity in carcinomatous component.
肉瘤样癌是一种具有上皮和间充质成分的高级别罕见恶性肿瘤。上尿路肉瘤样癌非常罕见。我们在此报告一例68岁女性肾盂肉瘤样癌伴骨肉瘤分化,累及输尿管和肾实质。组织学上,可见以产生骨样组织为主的多形性梭形细胞肉瘤成分和原位区域的尿路上皮癌成分。免疫组化分析显示肉瘤成分中波形蛋白阳性,癌成分中细胞角蛋白阳性。
