“…Only 15 cases of leiomyosarcoma of the renal vein are reported in the literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The median age of patients at presentation is 54 years (range 40-73).…”

“…Although occurring in neither of our cases, extension to the inferior vena cava has been described in 6 of the 15 reported cases and therefore inferior vena cavography or preferably CT with contrast enhancement is advisable [4]. Full assessment should also include pulmonary CT to detect pulmonary métastasés.…”

“…A hilar mass can be demonstrated by ultrasonography or CT but its features are not diagnostic [4], A preoperative diagnosis can be made, however, if tissue is obtained for histological examination by CT-guided biopsy as in case 2. Although occurring in neither of our cases, extension to the inferior vena cava has been described in 6 of the 15 reported cases and therefore inferior vena cavography or preferably CT with contrast enhancement is advisable [4].…”

The preoperative diagnosis for primary leiomyosarcoma of the renal vein, an extremely rare tumor, is difficult. The tumor predominantly occurs in women and on the left side. Its natural history is toward distant metastases and a poor 5‐year survival rate. Nephrectomy and en‐bloc surgical resection remain the mainstay of therapy. We present three such cases and review the world literature. © 1996 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Primary leiomyosarcomas of the retroperitoneum are rare tumors, the vast majority of which are malignant. Prognosis is largely dependent upon adequacy of surgical resection. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is ideally suited to the evaluation of these neoplasms because of multiplanar imaging capability, inherent signal intensity differences of tissues, and flow-void, flow enhancement techniques to assess vessel patency. Recent advances which include fat suppression, suspended respiration sequences, and Gadolinium enhancement, have further improved image quality. Accurate pre-operative assessment of tumors is possible with MRI.
