Liposarcoma of kidney

Renal Sarcoma

“…It is to be expected, therefore, that tumours may arise from any of these tissues. Fibrosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma (Williams and Savage, 1958), malignant hlemangiopericytomas (Farrow et al, 1968) and malignant neurilemmoma (Fein and Hamm, 1965) have all been recorded. Renal sarcomas have been reviewed by Mintz (1937), Weisel, Dockerty and Priestly (1943), Culp and Hartmann (1948) and Farrow et al (1968).…”

Liposarcoma of the kidney

“…MacDermott & Kennedy (1960) mentioned that a case reported by Ehrmann in 1914 should have been included. Of the twenty-nine recorded cases of renal liposarcoma reviewed by Williams & Savage (1958), ten were associated with the condition of tuberous sclerosis. In this condition, there is hypertrophic nodular gliosis within the brain, and there may be associated rhabdomyomata of the heart, retinal phacoma, adenoma sebaceum of the face with butterfly distribution and renal neoplasms.…”

“…Cases were reported to be alive and well 6, 91 and Since the paper published by Williams & Savage (1958), reports of further cases have been scanty, especially in the literature written in the English language. MacDermott & Kennedy (1960) documented the thirty-second case in the world literature.…”
