Rare renal pelvic leiomyosarcoma warrants inclusion in atypical mass differentials; leaves open standardized management strategies.
Leiomyosarcoma of the renal pelvis is an extremely rare mesenchymal tumor of the kidney. A 68-year-old male presented to the Urosurgery Department with hematuria, right flank pain, and burning micturition. On ultrasonography of the abdomen and pelvis, a soft tissue density mass lesion involving right renal pelvis and lower calyx measuring 2.5 cm × 1.5 cm × 1.4 cm in the right renal calculi, mild right hydronephrosis and hydroureter, mobile vesicle calculus, and mild prostatomegaly with changes of cystitis with significant postvoid residue were noted. The primary diagnosis based on imaging findings computed tomography (CT) abdomen and pelvis multiple detector CT scan, was given as suggestive of malignant tumor of the right kidney and pelvis. The right radical nephrectomy was done. On histopathology, it was confirmed as leiomyosarcoma of the right renal pelvis. We report an extremely rare tumor leiomyosarcoma of the renal pelvis for its clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings.
