Carcinosarcoma of urothelial organs: sequential involvement of urinary bladder, ureter, and renal pelvis.
We report a case of true carcinosarcoma involving the urinary bladder, ureter, and renal pelvis in an eighty-year-old man. The patient underwent transurethral resection of the bladder tumor and left nephrectomy, followed by combination chemo- and radiotherapy. He died eighteen months after the nephrectomy.
