title: Leiomyosarcoma of the ovarian vein: an unusual cause of severe abdominal and flank pain.
abstract: Leiomyosarcoma arising from the ovarian vein is extremely rare: only one case was found in the literature. We report a case in a sixty-one-year-old woman who had unexplained attacks of pain in her left lower abdomen and flank for two years.
