Despite the widespread use of abdominal imaging, some patients with renal cell carcinoma still present with advanced disease. We report 1 case of locally invasive sarcomatoid renal cell carcinoma requiring resection of the kidney, adrenal glands, liver, diaphragm, and lung, with diaphragmatic reconstruction with a polytetrafluoroethylene patch. The patient was alive and well 5 years postoperatively. However, we acknowledge that the success experienced with this case does not represent the typical outcome for a patient with such advanced disease.
