75-year-old woman with sarcomatoid RCC showing large volume of T2LIA. T2-weighted axial image (A) shows 3.7-cm left kidney endophytic mass (arrow) manifesting entirely with T2LIA (volume of 11.4 mL; 100%) that enhances on post-contrast T1-weighted image (B). Bone scan showed metastasis to left femur at baseline (not shown). Cytoreductive radical nephrectomy was done after which pathological analysis showed a 5.5-cm collecting duct type carcinoma with extensive sarcomatoid features and renal sinus fat invasion. Patient died 83 days after surgery before commencing further treatment. RCC = renal cell carcinoma; T2LIA = T2 low signal intensity area
