Abstract

Sarcomas Sarcomas originating in the walls of the large vessels are tumors of unusual presentation. Leiomyosarcoma of the vena cava is a complex disease that needs to be managed by a multidisciplinary team. Its management is surgical. Little is known of their oncologic results. We report the case of a 56 year-old patient, diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava, including her evaluation, surgical management, and short-term follow-up. An updated review of the literature is presented, along with an evaluation of the pathophysiology and the need for reconstruction of the inferior vena cava.
