“…The 40-year-old woman reported by Goldin et al 5 developed a solitary liver metastasis 6 months after primary procedure and underwent liver resection. The second and the third patient did well 6 , 7. The fourth patient survived for about 3 years 8.…”

“…In a surgical first at the time, a mesocaval shunt was accomplished for a portal hypertension precluding resection; 6 months later, the mass was removed but patient quickly developed liver metastases. More recently, four cases of LMSs of the superior mesenteric vein were reported by Goldin et al ,1 Celdràn et al ,6 Leporrier et al 7 and Kuma et al 8. The patients were, respectively, a 40-year-old woman, a 66-year-old man, a 50-year-old woman and a 62-year-old woman.…”

Leyomiosarcomas arising from the portal/mesenteric venous system are very rare tumours, and only a few cases have been reported in the global literature. As the other leyomiosarcomas of vascular origin, they are associated with a poor prognosis. The present report describes the case of a 66-year-old woman with a leyomiosarcoma of the inferior mesenteric vein, unexpectedly found during a CT scan performed for another indication. A brief review of the literature is also given. The patient underwent radical surgical excision and enjoys a good health, without radiological signs of recurrence, 24 months after surgery. In this case, an early incidental diagnosis determined an early treatment and, probably, a favourable prognosis. This is the second case of leyomiosarcoma of the inferior mesenteric vein reported in the literature.

“…Tumors of venous origin are five times more common than arterial ones, with the inferior vena cava being the most common origin. Concerning leiomyosarcoma of the portal venous system, the literature is very sparse: only five previous cases have been reported in the English language literature . Our patient is the first to be treated by a Whipple procedure combined with a vascular reconstruction using a Gore‐Tex prosthesis.…”

“…Two recent published cases report leiomyosarcoma of the portal venous system with two different treatments. The first patient was a 66‐year‐old man suffering from a leiomyosarcoma of the mesenteric vein, requiring a right hemicolectomy with an autogenous saphenous vein graft . The other patient, a 40‐year‐old woman, was operated on for a leiomyosarcoma arising from the superior mesenteric vein, which was revealed by a mass originating from the head of the pancreas .…”
