A 19-year-old female presented with left flank discomfort and swelling. Imaging revealed a large mass arising from the left kidney, and radical nephrectomy confirmed the diagnosis of alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) based on histopathological and ultrastructural examination. Postoperatively, positron emission tomography-computerized tomography showed lung metastasis and renal bed recurrence. Sunitinib was initiated for metastatic ASPS. This case underscores challenges in diagnosing and managing ASPS, highlighting the role of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Multidisciplinary care and vigilant follow-up are crucial for rare tumors such as ASPS.
一名19岁女性出现左侧胁腹不适和肿胀。影像学检查发现左肾有一个大肿块,根治性肾切除术经组织病理学和超微结构检查确诊为肺泡软组织肉瘤(ASPS)。术后,正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描显示有肺转移和肾床复发。开始使用舒尼替尼治疗转移性ASPS。该病例强调了ASPS诊断和管理中的挑战,突出了酪氨酸激酶抑制剂的作用。多学科护理和密切随访对于ASPS等罕见肿瘤至关重要。
