Abstract

CORONA-MONTES, Víctor Enrique et al. Unusual cause of obstructive uropathy: a pelvic condrosarcoma. Rev. mex. urol. [online]. 2022, vol.82, n.2, e09.  Epub Feb 20, 2023. ISSN 2007-4085.  https://doi.org/10.48193/revistamexicanadeurologa.v82i2.813.

We report the case of a 37-year-old male patient who presented renal failure secondary to a pelvic tumor. The diagnostic approach revealed a pubic-dependent tumor corresponding to a mesenchymal chondrosarcoma that conditioned obstructive uropathy as well as bladder and sigmoid compression. Mesenchymal chondrosarcomas are soft tissue dependent sarcomas with an extremely rare incidence, the clinical importance of our report is due to the fact that chondrosarcomas, must be considered in the differential diagnoses of obstructive uropathy due to their compressive effect on the urinary tract. We carry out a brief review of diagnostic approach, therapeutic options and prognosis of this pathology.

Keywords : Obstructive uropathy; mesenchymal chondrosarcoma; soft tissue sarcoma.
