Abstract

We present a case of leiomyosarcoma arising from the renal pelvis, which is a rare clinical entity. A percutaneous endoscopic resection led to the final histopathological diagnosis. The patient underwent radical nephrectomy and did not receive adjuvant therapy. Based on follow-up CT scans, he remains recurrence-free one year after surgery.

Keywords: Kidney tumor; Leiomyosarcoma; Renal pelvis.
