Bilateral leiomyosarcoma of kidneys with pericardial metastases: a double whammy.

Santosh Kumar1, Tushar Aditya Narain1, Gopal Sharma1, Shantanu Tyagi1.   

Abstract

Renal sarcoma is a rare but lethal malignancy affecting the kidneys. Literature regarding this rare tumour has been limited to case reports and case series. In this paper, we report a very rare case of bilateral renal leiomyosarcoma with pericardial metastasis. Disease status and dearth of our knowledge in treating this particular type of case prompted us to review our experience of managing such case, which has never been reported previously in literature to our knowledge. © BMJ Publishing Group Limited 2019.
