Key result
Radical resection with IVC thrombectomy allows 8-day discharge in a patient with renal leiomyosarcoma.
Why the study?
Renal leiomyosarcomas are rare malignant tumors arising from smooth muscle tissues of the kidney, often complicated by vena cava inferior thrombosis, requiring clinical characterization.

This report highlights the clinical presentation and surgical management of rare renal leiomyosarcomas complicated by massive inferior vena cava thrombosis.
Renal LMS with IVC thrombosis cases illustrate feasible resection; leaves open standardized management in this rare entity.
Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a rare malignant tumor of smooth muscle origin that usually arises from soft tissues, reduced due to smooth muscle or vessel walls of venous origin. Renal leiomyosarcomas arise from the smooth muscle tissues of the renal pelvis, renal capsule, or renal vessels, and are most commonly encountered. This article presents clinical cases of diagnosis and surgical treatment of renal leiomyosarcoma found in the renal pelvis, complicated by extended thrombosis of the vena cava inferior (VCI).

Khakimova et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Leiomyosarcoma of the kidney with massive thrombosis of the inferior vena cava (n=1). Radical nephrectomy with thrombectomy and IVC resection was evaluated on Postoperative recovery. Radical surgical resection including nephrectomy and inferior vena cava thrombectomy was successfully performed in a patient with renal leiomyosarcoma, allowing discharge on postoperative day 8.
