title: Leiomyosarcoma of the Inferior Vena Cava Level II Including Both Renal Veins : Surgical Approach.
abstract: A 66 years old male developping an acute lower right limb oedema due to an extended venous thrombosis of the common femoral and iliac veins was diagnosed to have a leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC) involving both renal veins. The characteristics and management of this level II IVC leiomyosarcoma are discussed with particular attention to the renal vein reconstruction and neo-adjuvant therapy.
