title: [Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava. Presentation of 1 case of autopsy and review of the literature].
abstract: This is a clinico-pathological report of a 30 years old male patient that presented with acute epigastric pain. Ultrasound examination showed a retroperitoneal tumor, thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and ascites. CAT scan disclosed thrombosis of hepatic vein and inferior vena cava with right atrium involvement. Necropsy showed a leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava. There are seldom reports of this tumor in the last 5 years and an early diagnosis allows therapeutic interventions associating surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
