Abstract
- Cases of sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma are very rare. It has been known that sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma is an epithelial cell variant that has been metaplastically transformed with a very poor prognosis. Diagnosis of sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma is performed by examining a nephrectomy specimen to see if epithelial and sarcomatoid components are variously mixed together. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to report five cases of sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma.
