“…Local, locoregional, and distant disease control were measured from date of last HDRB treatment to date of recurrence. Acute and late toxicities were assessed from start date of HDRB to 90 days and >90 days, respectively, and were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 guidelines (31). To adjust for differing followup, the Kaplan-Meier (KM) 4-year estimate of late grade toxicity was calculated.…”

Metachronous Leiomyosarcoma are a rare entity in literature. Renal Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) have an aggressive biological behavior with poor prognosis despite surgery. We report the use of a minimally invasive percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) in management of this tumor.We report a case of 72 year old woman with a history of the inferior vena cava (IVC) LMS surgically treated 7 year ago and with metachronous/delayed presentation of subcutaneous LMS in scapular region and renal LMS, the later successfully treated with RFA. RFA seems to be an alternative procedure for patients with extended disease and comorbidities.

“…But recent reports of chemo sensitivity testing in soft tissue sarcomas are encouraging and are being used to create sensitivity and resistance profiles of established and new cytotoxic agents [11]. Brachytherapy and external beam radiotherapy are also being tried with statistically significant better results in both recurrent and primary soft tissue sarcomas [12]. In general, these tumors have a poor prognosis although occasionally long-term survivors are reported.…”

Leiomyosarcoma of kidney – a case report with long term result after radiotherapy and chemotherapy

Leiomyosarcoma of the kidney is a rare entity with poor prognosis. Among renal sarcomas, it is the most common histologic subtype amounting to 50-60% of all cases. The tumors usually arise from either the renal capsule or smooth muscle tissue in the renal pelvic wall. We describe a case of renal leiomyosarcoma that presented with history of left flank pain. Physical examination was normal. Abdominal ultrasound showed a solid lesion of 38 x 36 mm arising from the left kidney. Intravenous urography showed cut off of both major and minor calyces of the left kidney from its pelvis with a normal right kidney. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a well-encapsulated mass confined to the renal parenchyma for which radical nephrectomy was performed. Histopathology showed a Grade I leiomyosarcoma arising from the renal capsule. Adjuvant chemotherapy and sandwich radiotherapy was given and he is disease free after six and half years of follow up. The rarity of this disease, its severity and poor prognosis, uncommon form of presentation, resulting delay in diagnosis and difficulty in management is highlighted and reported.
