Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare malignancy. Approximately 350 cases of this disease are known worldwide. Surgical treatment of this condition remains an extremely difficult task. In this case report, we present an experience of successful radical treatment of a leiomyosarcoma of the suprarenal IVC without vascular reconstruction. The patient was treated with resection of the suprarenal portion of the IVC with the tumor; however, in view of adequate blood outflow from the right lobe of the liver, prosthetic replacement of the IVC with right hepatic vein reimplantation was not performed.

Background: Total vascular exclusion (TVE) with liver hypothermic perfusion under venovenous bypass (VVB) is usually needed to perform hepatectomy with Inferior vena cava and hepatic veins resection-reconstruction. An alternative technique is represented by liver resection under intermittent pedicular clamping, IVC total clamping and VVB, without cold perfusion and liver outflow drainage through the VVB. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The patient is a 60-year-old woman with past medical history of right hepatectomy for leiomyosarcoma 14 years previously.

Primary inferior vena cava (IVC) tumors are rare. Most are leiomyosarcomas. The prognosis is poor with those involving and superior to the hepatic veins faring worse than those isolated within the retrohepatic cava.
