Abstract
Introduction Leiomyosarcomas of the inferior vena cava are rare malignant tumors. A limited number of these cases have been described so far. Only few of them have intracardiac propagation and surgery is rarely undertaken for their treatment.
Case Outline We present a 52-year-old female patient in whom leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava with intracardiac propagation was diagnosed. The patient underwent successful surgical treatment with complete removal of the tumor and direct suture of the inferior vena cava. No additional modalities of therapy were undertaken.
Conclusion Surgery, without radiation therapy can be a successful option for the treatment of inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma with a good short-term result.
