Abstract
Leiomyosarcomas are exceedingly rare malignant tumours with a very poor prognosis. We present a 78-year-old patient with a small renal and paracaval mass. Surgery included right open partial nephrectomy and resection of the paracaval mass to treat the presumed renal cell carcinoma. Pathology revealed the tumour to be leiomyosarcoma (LMS). This is only the second documented report of an inferior vena cava LMS presenting along with an ipsi-lateral renal mass.Entities:
