Implication

Indicates poor survival in high-grade venous leiomyosarcoma; leaves open optimal treatment strategies pending larger studies.

Population

6 patients with leiomyosarcoma of large veins in the extremities.

Exposure

Clinical, roentgenologic (phlebography, arteriography, computed tomography), and morphologic evaluation

Outcome

Diagnostic features and clinical outcomes (survival and metastasis)

Leiomyosarcomas of large extremity veins are high-grade malignancies with poor prognosis, where multimodality imaging aids in diagnosis and surgical planning.

Berlin et al. (1984) conducted a case report in Leiomyosarcoma of large veins in the extremities (n=6). Clinical, roentgenologic, and morphologic evaluation was evaluated. In six cases of high-grade leiomyosarcoma of large extremity veins, five patients died of metastatic disease and one is alive with lung metastases.
