[Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava. Clinical report].
A leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava is reported in a 52 year old female, located in the para-renal segment of the vena cava. The tumor was resected and the vena cava was replaced by a 20 mm PTFE anelar prosthesis, with reimplantation of the right renal vein. The left renal vein was ligated. One year later CT-scans showed patency of the graft. The authors discuss the therapeutic options for this type of tumor and analyse the 5 and 10 years survival rates, following treatment.
