“…We also performed a PubMed literature search of the past 10 years by entering the search terms ‘leiomyosarcoma’ and ‘inferior vena cava’ [3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, …”

A 38-year-old woman had developed an abdominal distention, lower extremity edema, and dyspnea. Imaging examination revealed a large mass in the right atrium which was connected to lesions within the inferior vena cava. Although complete resection of the mass was not possible, partial surgical tumor resection was performed to avoid pulmonary embolization and circulatory collapse. Leiomyosarcoma was diagnosed histologically, and chemotherapy (doxorubicin) followed by radiotherapy was started. By reviewing papers published in the past 10 years that included 322 patients, we also discuss the clinical presentations and prognosis of leiomyosarcoma in the inferior vena cava.

“…Sarcomas are generally classified according to the normal cell line that they most closely look like, which stands up from mesenchymal cell lines. Of all soft tissue sarcomas, around 5%-10% are leiomyosarcoma (LMS) [1][2][3][4] . Sarcomas are rare malignant tumors with a large variety of histologic subtypes, approximately 1% of adult malignancies [1] , for high-risk factor, known by tumor grade, size and location, local control is enhanced with postoperative adjuvant radiation.…”

Leiomyosarcomas of vascular origin are uncommon. Originated from the smooth muscles of tunica media of major blood vessels leiomyosarcoma of venous origin is 5 times more common than those of arterial origin, 50% of cases originated in the lower vena cava. Most cases are presented in women with a median age of 50 years. We reported a 65-year-old woman, onset of symptoms 3 months before diagnosis with: pain, palpable tumor (9 cm × 5 cm), edema of the left lower extremity and unilateral intermittent claudication. CT with a vascularized mass, unrelated to adjacent muscle (tibialis posterior) of the left lower pelvic member, it displaces the path of the neurovascular bundle, with a probable origin in the posterior tibial vein. Total tumor resection was performed. Pathology reports a high-grade vascular leiomyosarcoma. T2a, Nx, Mx. Stage IIc. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry. The patient had adequate postoperative recovery without complications. Later the patient received 37 cycles of post-operatory radiotherapy. Currently (July 2015) the patient is asymptomatic. We present this case because although the frequency of this type of tumor is low, should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients with mass, claudication and pain in lower pelvic member.

O leiomiossarcoma de veia cava inferior é uma neoplasia rara originária das células do músculo liso da túnica média da veia cava inferior. Neste trabalho, relata-se o caso de um paciente do sexo feminino, 54 anos, com queixa inicial de dor abdominal em flanco direito há dois anos, associada a perda de peso de 7 kg em dois meses, inapetência e prostração, cuja ultrassonografia de abdome total evidenciou lesão sólida, hipoecogênica e de contornos levemente bocelados na adjacência da veia cava inferior e da cabeça pancreática. Foi realizada ressecção da lesão e envio do material para análise anatomopatológica, que evidenciou leiomiossarcoma de veia cava inferior. Essas lesões têm mau prognóstico e o diagnóstico precoce e ressecção completa com margens cirúrgicas livres é a única chance de sobrevida a longo prazo.
