Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the inferior vena cava: appearances on contrast-enhanced spiral CT and MRI.
Primary malignant tumors of the inferior vena cava are infrequent. We report a very rare case of primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the inferior vena cava and describe the contrast-enhanced spiral computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings.
