  • First Online:
Surgery of the Inferior Vena Cava

Abstract

Leiomyosarcomas of the inferior vena cava (IVCLMS) are a very rare tumor accounting for fewer than 700 cases reported in the literature. A systematic overview and analysis of IVCLMS is here presented with the intent to produce a complete analytical study of epidemiology, histopathology, radiological diagnosis, surgical treatment, palliation, and survival outcomes of this tumor.
