Clear cell carcinomas (CCCs) are the common renal cell tumors. Sarcomatoid change in the clear cell tumors is uncommon. Not only this sarcomatoid change raises the grade of the tumors thereby adversely affecting the prognosis but it also may pose diagnostic problems. We discuss a case of diabetic female who presented with abdominal mass and polycythemia. She presented with grade IV and stage I CCC with sarcomatoid change. The tumor belonged to stage I. Left sided nephrectomy and splenectomy was done to treat the tumor. Postoperative radiotherapy was done. The patient was followed-up for a period of 2 years, no recurrence was noted. We report this case due to its unusual clinical and histological presentation.
