[Diagnosis and treatment of leiomyosarcomas of inferior vena cava].
3 clinical cases and literature data, illustrate effective diagnostic and surgical policy in patients with uncommon type of tumor. Two patients were previously operated in other clinics, but the operations were diagnostic because the tumors were estimated as being inoperable. In all 3 patients radical operations were carried out with resection of infrarenal segment of inferior cava vein without its prosthetic reconstruction. In did not result in substantial blood flow disturbances, because before the operation it was known about the presence of well functioning collaterals. The significance of ultrasound examination, especially duplex scanning, computer tomography and angiography (cavagraphy) is emphasized. Favourable results of treatment, especially conclusion of the tumor resectability are more common in specialized institutions.
