Özet

Introduction: Sarcomas account for only about 1% of all malignant tumors. Less than 5% of soft tissue sarcomas arise from the genitourinary tract, accounting for only 1 to 2% of all malignant genitourinary tumors. Because of the rarity of these tumors, the basic problem in the management of these tumors is the lack of a uniform approach for staging and treatment. Although sarcomas arise from different organs in the genitourinary tract and compromise different histopathological features, the main treatment modality is surgical resection of the tumor. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and pathological features and prognosis of genitourinary tumors treated in our clinic.
