Özet

Introduction: Urological sarcomas are rare. Renal sarcomas represent 1% to 2% of all malignant renal tumors and their prognosis is worse than other urogenital sarcomas. High grade sarcomas commonly metastasize, with the lungs, lymph nodes, and liver being a primary site of spread. Penile and prostatic metastases of renal sarcomas are extremely rare, and are generally accepted as a manifestation of systemic spread and survival after their presentation is limited. We report the first case of simultaneous penile and prostatic metastases from a primary sarcoma of the kidney.
