“…On the other hand, tumors of the stomach and colon are only moderately vascular even when there is no significant associated necrosis. Metastatic lesions of the liver or peritoneal cavity tend to show an angiographic pattern similar to that of the primary tumor [46]. Two colonic lesions examined in this series had findings that concurred with the few observations in the literature.…”

Gastrointestinal leiomyosarcoma — Unusual sites: Esophagus, colon and porta hepatis

This paper is based on a retrospective analysis of the radiologic findings of 6 newly proven cases of primary gastrointestinal leiomyosarcomas located in unusual sites. The radiographic and angiographic features of esophageal, colonic, and porta hepatis leiomyosarcomas are described and illustrated. General background information together with a brief review of the literature regarding these lesions are provided. The difficulties encountered in the preoperative diagnosis are explained by the protean and non-specific clinical and radiographic features of many of these tumors. In addition, although myomatous tumors of the liver and porta hepatis are angiographically hypervascular, similar tumors of the colon are slight to moderately vascular, and tumors of the esophagus are avascular.

“…Although the experience is still limited, an overall pattern is emerging regarding the angiographic findings of gastrointestinal leiomyosarcomas [46][47][48][49][50]. The small bowel tumors have been consistently hypervascular with visualization of tumor vessels, intense capillary stain, and early draining veins.…”

“…7,10 In this situation, concomitant resection and reconstruction of the IVC is necessary, which largely dictates the techniques used for the operative procedure. 9,11 Pathologic examination often fails to determine whether the leiomyosarcoma originated from the IVC or invaded the IVC.…”

Surgical Treatment of Retroperitoneal Leiomyosarcoma Invading the Inferior Vena Cava: Report of Three Cases

et al. 2002

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma is a rare neoplasm for which complete surgical removal provides the only effective treatment, as local recurrence adversely affects prognosis. However, invasion of major vessels may occur, making complete resection difficult. This report describes the cases of three patients who required concomitant resection of parts of the inferior vena cava because of direct tumor invasion. The major vessels should be isolated in preference to the tumor capsule during surgery to prevent sudden exsanguination or incomplete tumor resection. Resection of a recurrent sarcoma or a solitary metastasis can be effective in selected patients.

“…acteristics of the tumor, namely, whether it is completely covered with normal mucosa or is ulcerated. Characteristic angiographic findings of a leiomyosarcoma are a moderately vascular or well-circumscribed hypervascular mass with occasional central avascularity [14][15][16]. However, these angiographic findings may also be present in leiomyoma [14][15][16].…”

Rapidly growing esophageal leiomyosarcoma: case report and review of the literature

et al. 1995

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We evaluated a 72-year-old woman who was experiencing dysphagia. Esophageal leiomyosarcoma was diagnosed by barium meal study, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), by computed tomography (CT). A barium meal study and esophagoscopy performed 3 months before the diagnosis of esophageal leiomyosarcoma showed no abnormalities. Therefore, the tumor appeared to have grown rapidly during the 3-month period.
