Abstract

Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, a subtype of Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is associated with a better prognosis than clear cell RCC and comprises about 3-5 % of all RCCs. It is believed to originate from the intercalated cells of the distal nephron (Steven C. Campbell MD, 2016). Sarcomatoid differentiation can occur with any RCC, in which high-grade spindle cells co-exist with epithelial areas of the tumor. It suggests transformation to higher grade malignancy and an ominous outcome. The sarcomatoid component is homologous (Akin to parent RCC cells) in the majority of cases. We herein report a case of ChRCC with osteosarcomatous (heterologous) differentiation in an elderly gentleman, who developed pulmonary metastasis with an osseous component. Although metastasis is very rare in Chromophobe RCC, Sarcomatoid differentiation.
