The leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava is a non-frequent tumor, mesenchymal, that has its origin in the smooth muscular tissue of the vascular wall. Its growth is slow and expansive, more frequently found on females. The symptomatology is related to the cava segment where it is located. The diagnosis is performed by ultrasonics, computed tomography and cavography, actually magnetic resonance acquires more and more importance. The treatment is specifically surgery along with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. A case of leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava is presented in which diagnosis was performed using ultrasonics, tomography and cavography confirmed before surgery by biopsy punction with thin needle. In the diagnosis of this pathology it is described the use of intro-surgery ultrasonics.
下腔静脉平滑肌肉瘤是一种罕见的间叶组织肿瘤，起源于血管壁的平滑肌组织。其生长缓慢且呈浸润性，多见于女性。症状与肿瘤所在的腔静脉段有关。诊断通过超声、计算机断层扫描和腔静脉造影进行，实际上磁共振成像的重要性日益增加。治疗主要是手术，同时辅以放疗和化疗。本文介绍了一例下腔静脉平滑肌肉瘤病例，术前通过超声、断层扫描和腔静脉造影进行诊断，并经细针穿刺活检证实。在这种病理诊断中描述了术中超声的应用。
