Sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma: a case of spontaneous regression of metastases.
The spontaneous regression of metastases in renal cell carcinoma is usually associated with the clear cell carcinoma histologic type. We report a case of spontaneous regression in a man with lung metastases from a sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma variant. At present, 1 year after regression was first evident, the patient remains in remission.
