Adult genitourinary sarcomas: a report of seventeen cases and review of the literature.

Abstract

Seventeen adult urologic sarcomas treated at the Oncology Hospital of Ankara in the last ten-year period are described. There were six cases of paratesticular rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), four cases of liposarcoma (LS), three cases of leiomyosarcoma (LMS); two cases of Kaposi sarcoma limited to glans penis, and only one primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the kidney. We report our ten years' experience with adult genitourinary sarcomas. The necessity for a uniform staging system and adequate multidisciplinary therapy are discussed.
