Core Tip

Core Tip: Renal pelvis sarcomatoid carcinoma (RPSC) is an extremely rare tumor that is associated with a high mortality rate. We present a rare case of right RPSC with renal vein tumor thrombus, in which diagnosis was based on evidence from radiology, pathology, and analysis of tumor mutations. The specific genetic mutations in this patient’s tumor may provide insights into the invasive phenotype and pathogenesis of this cancer.
