Abstrakt: | Renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid dedifferentiation is an entity of RCC that has undergone an anaplastic transformation with both a carcinomatous and a sarcomatous component. The standard treatment in metastatic patients is immunotherapy. The aim of this article is to describe our case of metastatic recurrent RCC with sarcomatoid dedifferentiation in a 59 year old male patient treated with nephrectomy and multiple metastasectomies followed by Cabozantinib. Consecutive PET-CT scans showed no evidence of recurrence, three years after the last metastasectomy, and the patient is having currently a normal life. Sarcomatoid dedifferentiation remains a poor prognosis factor in RCC. Surgery for metastases followed by Cabozantinib may be a therapeutic option in metastatic young patients. However, a prospective randomized trial would be the best option to validate this approach. Competing Interests: CONFLICTS OF INTEREST The authors declare no conflicts of interest. |
