ABSTRACT

The inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma is a rare type of retroperitoneal sarcoma. Due to the small number of cases reported in literature, there is no well-defined protocol, based on randomized studies, on the most appropriate treatment for this neoplasia. Studies show that surgical resection R0 is the main curative treatment. We report the case of a patient submitted to surgical R0 resection of leiomyosarcoma of inferior vena cava by videolaparoscopy with good evolution in the postoperative period.

RESUMO

O leiomiossarcoma da veia cava inferior é um tipo raro de sarcoma retroperitoneal. Devido ao pequeno número de casos relatados na literatura, não existe um protocolo bem definido, baseado em estudos randomizados, sobre o tratamento mais adequado para essa neoplasia. Estudos mostram que a ressecção cirúrgica R0 é o principal tratamento curativo. Relatamos o caso de um paciente submetido à ressecção cirúrgica R0 de leiomiossarcoma de veia cava inferior por videolaparoscopia com boa evolução no pós-operatório.
