چكيده فارسي :
Leiomyosarcoma of vascular origin is a rare malignant tumor. Inferior vena cava (IVC) is the most common site of vascular
leiomyosarcomas. Leiomyosarcoma of IVC is predominantly seen in middle-aged women presenting with non-specific symptoms
and clinical findings. Herein, we report a case of leiomyosarcoma of IVC in a 44-year-old woman presented with progressive
abdominal discomfort and postprandial vomiting. Laboratory results were in favor of acute liver injury. Imagings revealed a
retroperitoneal mass and enhancement in almost the total course of inferior vena cava with extension into both renal veins and right
atrium. Histopathological examination showed a malignant spindle cell tumor and immunohistochemistry confirmed smooth muscle
origin of the tumor.
