Background
Renal fibrosarcoma is a rare tumor, with only a few cases reported so far, and simultaneous occurrence of ipsilateral renal fibrosarcoma and renal pelvic carcinoma in a patient is extraordinarily rare.
Case presentation
A 66-year-old man admitted to our hospital with right renal percutaneous nephrostomy and recurrent fever. And the patient underwent laparoendoscopic nephrectomy and partial ureterectomy for pyonephrotic nonfunctioning kidneys. Postoperative pathology showed fibrosarcoma of right kidney and carcinoma of the renal pelvis.
Conclusions
This is the first case of simultaneous occurrence of ipsilateral renal fibrosarcoma and renal pelvic carcinoma in a patient. The diagnosis of fibrosarcoma is one of ultimate immunohistologic exclusion, because there are no specific immunologic markers for fibroblasts. The most common primary treatment for localized disease is radical surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy.
