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.
