Abstract
We report a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease receiving hemodialysis who developed a renal leiomyosarcoma with retro peritoneal spread and intestinal involvement. We discuss the different ial diagnosis of tumours and neoplasms in polycystic kidneys. We highl ight the patient without symptoms or signs and the importance of the a bdominal scan. We constrast the rarity of sarcoma with the much common er renal carcinoma in autosomal dominant polycystic renal disease.
