Adrenal leiomyosarcoma extending into the right atrium.
Primary soft tissue sarcoma of the adrenal gland is very rare and aggressive. In right adrenal tumors, because of direct venous drainage into inferior vena cava, the tumor may invade the vena caval wall toward the right atrium. We present a case of adrenal leiomyosarcoma extending into the right atrium.
