We report a case of renal leiomyosarcoma arising from the renal pelvis with immunohistochemical confirmation of the diagnosis. Treatment was extirpative surgery for both primary and metastatic lung lesions as well as adjunctive radiation and chemotherapy. This patient remains disease-free twelve months following treatment.
