Leiomyosarcoma of the Inferior Vena Cava in a Patient With Double Inferior Vena Cava

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2012
Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare tumor arising from its smooth muscle cells.We report the case of a 38-year-old woman presenting with back pain and weight loss who was diagnosed with a 22-cm leiomyosarcoma of the right IVC and thrombosis of the left IVC.

Dual Inferior Vena Cava: Two Inferior Vena Cava Filters

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007
The formation of the venous drainage system of the human body is a complex process involving structures forming and regressing in a predefined order. Interruption of any one of these steps results in the formation of a congenital anomaly. Knowledge of these anomalies can prevent us from potential serious and sometimes fatal complications.

Anomalies of the inferior vena cava

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1986
The inferior vena cava is formed by a complex process of embryogenesis during the sixth to tenth week of gestation. Improper completion of the process may result in four anatomic anomalies: duplication of the inferior vena cava, transposition or left-sided inferior vena cava, retroaortic left renal vein, and circumaortic left renal vein.

Effect of a retrievable inferior vena cava filter plus anticoagulation vs anticoagulation alone on risk of recurrent pulmonary embolism: a randomized clinical trial.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2015
IMPORTANCE Although retrievable inferior vena cava filters are frequently used in addition to anticoagulation in patients with acute venous thromboembolism, their benefit-risk ratio is unclear.

Inferior vena cava echocardiography

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 1982
AbstractThe inferior vena cava can be imaged during echocardiography from the subcostal transducer position as an echo‐free space at a depth ranging from 6 to 15 cm from the abdominal wall. The normal inferior vena cava M‐mode echocardiogram has an “a” and “v” pulsation pattern similar to that seen in the jugular venous tracing and exhibits prominent ...

Inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1992
AbstractLeiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava is a rare malignancy, and radical resection with negative margins remains the only hope for cure. In this report we cite four cases of this tumor treated at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center with particular emphasis on the use of preoperative chemotherapy. In our patients, preoperative

LEIOMYOSARCOMA OF INFERIOR VENA CAVA

Archives of Surgery, 1954
TUMORS of the inferior vena cava are a pathologic curiosity of extreme rarity. In 1950 Roussak and Heppleston, 1 in England, reported a case of leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava producing obstruction of the vessel. The tumor was found at autopsy.

Leiomyosarcoma of the Inferior Vena Cava

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2006
A 68-year-old woman presented for reevaluation of progressively worsening dyspnea over 2 years. Imaging 4 months prior included unremarkable chest CT, pulmonary function tests, and pulmonary angiogram. On reevaluation, transesophageal echocardiogram was performed; a large right atrial mass was discovered. Magnetic resonance imaging and chest CT defined

Aneurysm of the inferior vena cava

The Surgeon, 2003
Aneurysms of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are extremely rare, with a range of reported presentations including deep venous thrombosis. Computerised Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans are suggested appropriate diagnostic imaging modalities, but even then it may not be possible to differentiate between an IVC aneurysm and a ...
