Abstract :
Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a high-grade rare malignant tumor with both epithelial
and mesenchymal components. Sarcomatoid carcinoma in the upper urinary tract is
very rare. We reported here a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma of renal pelvis with
osteosarcomatous differentiation, with involvement of the ureter and renal
parenchyma in a 68-year-old female. Histologically, predominant pleomorphic
spindle cell sarcoma component with osteoid production and urothelial carcinoma
component with in situ areas were identified. Immunohistochemical analysis showed
vimentin positivity in sarcomatous component and cytokeratin positivity in
carcinomatous component
