Sarcomas of the kidney.
We report a retrospective study of 18 patients with renal sarcomas seen between 1950 and 1980. Renal sarcomas are highly malignant neoplasms and the over-all prognosis is poor, with only 2 long-term survivors in this series. Radical nephrectomy seems to be the treatment of choice.
