Abstrakt: Renal sarcoma represents 2.8% of all renal malignant tumours. The most common kind is leiomyosarcoma while rhabdomyosarcoma is the most unusual. Clinical presentation and diagnosis of both types of tumours are unspecific. Treatment is controversial and the overall prognosis poor. The present paper presents two cases, one leiomyosarcoma and one rhabdomyosarcoma which were treated surgically and were followed by chemo- and radiotherapy. A revision of the criteria for grading these as primary tumours of the kidney is also included.
