Background: Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcomas are neoplasma which are best treated with complete exeresis.
Aim: We reported three new cases of retroperitoneal Leiomyosarcoma operated during last ten years.
Cases: The authors reported 3 cases of Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcomas in 3 patients (2 men and a woman) aged respectively 53, 55 and 57 year-old. Incomplete resection was performed in the 3 cases because of the important local extension. All patients died 18, 19 et 51 months after diagnosis.

Patients always present with nonspecific complaints, hence delaying the actual diagnosis, and they are associated with poor oncological outcomes. Differentiating primary leiomyosarcoma from other pathologies affecting IVC-like bland thrombus, retroperitoneal liposarcomas and other tumours infiltrating IVC secondarily may be difficult at times.
