“…Like other renal sarcomas, LPSs remain clinically asymptomatic till they are large. Common presenting symptoms include pain, hematuria, abdominal mass, or loss of weight (35). Histologically, LPSs have been classified as myxoid (60%), well-differentiated (25%), and pleomorphic (10%) types; the majority of published cases of primary LPSs are well-differentiated tumors (35).…”

“…1 The natural behavior of and outcome of STS are dependent of the age of the patient, anatomical site and depth, size, and resectability of the tumor, as well as of histology, grade , nodal disease and distant metastasis. 6 Most RLS, even of important size, rarely metastasize. 1 They occur generally in the 4 th and 6 th decades of life.…”
