Abstract
- We report a case of extraluminal leiomyosarcoma of inferior vena cave(IVC)
in a 56 year old woman. She was admitted to our hospital because of right lower
quadrant discomfort for a month. Radiologic finding including ultrasonography,
computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging showed heterogenous solid
mass adhering to IVC and the confirmative diagnosis was made by ultrasonography
guided percutaneous needle biopsy. She underwent radical resection surgery.
No adjuvant treatment was performed and she has been in the follow up without
recurrence of the disease.
