Primary renal malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a rare tumor of the kidney. We report an additional case noting, as other authors have, the similarity in clinical presentation with renal cell carcinoma. We also review the 23 documented cases of the international literature, emphasizing the current diagnostic approaches and therapeutic management.
We report a case of a 69-year-old man with a history of left spermatic cord thickening and an enlarging painless mass in the left hemiscrotum. A final diagnosis of paratesticular epithelioid leiomyosarcoma was made. 13 months after treatment he is alive without any signs of tumor recurrence or metastasis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
