Primary rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) of the kidney in an adult is rare, with only a few cases published in the literature. It is a mesenchymal tumor associated with an aggressive and rapid clinical progression course. We present a case of primary renal RMS in a 58-year-old female who presented with intermittent abdominal pain in the past year. The computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a 20×25×8 cm heterogeneous solid mass in the middle pole extended to the lower pole of the right kidney. Therefore, the patient underwent a right radical nephroureterectomy. Histopathology examination and immunohistochemistry studies confirmed the diagnosis of RMS with pleomorphic components. Postoperatively, the patient was discharged without any complications and was referred to an oncologist for chemotherapy. However, a follow-up CT scan in 2 months showed widespread liver metastasis and local recurrence. The patient received Gemcitabine and Docetaxel, but her condition worsened, and she passed away 5 months later. Primary renal RMS is rare in adults. In addition, liver metastasis is uncommon and poorly understood. Hence, we describe the clinicopathologic characteristics, including clinical follow-up of our case, focusing on the disease progression, treatment, and outcome. |
