Diagnosis and management of rare inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma guided by a novel minimally invasive vascular biopsy technique

We present a case of a primary inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma, not able to be adequately assessed by noninvasive imaging and deemed too risky to be approached with traditional percutaneous biopsy techniques. Accurate diagnosis of such tumors is critical, as the success of surgical resection, although high risk, depends greatly upon the type, location, and extent of malignancy.
