[Primary leiomyosarcoma of the left renal vein].
The authors report a case of leiomyosarcoma of the left renal vein. Because of its retroperitoneal position, this exceptional tumour was responsible for few symptoms. Complementary investigations (CT scan, ultrasonography, arteriography) often do not confirm the diagnosis. Complete surgical excision combined with complementary treatment can ensure long-term survival.
