“…However, many patients who undergo bypass grafting do not have adequate or available autologous vein grafts. 8 Reconstruction using a PTFE graft can be indicated to bridge wide gaps in the vein, but clinical outcomes with prosthetic grafts in peripheral vascular reconstruction are inferior to those with autologous vein bypass grafts. 8 We used the ePTFE graft because it was immediately available.…”

A saphenous vein graft would have been stenotic, reducing the diameter of the external iliac vein.…”

Leiomyosarcoma of the iliac vein is an uncommon tumor. We report a case of a 63-year-old Japanese woman with leiomyosarcoma of the right external iliac vein. The patient complained of right inguinal pain and swelling. Computed tomography demonstrated a mass surrounding the right external iliac artery and vein. Metastases in the lungs and liver were found. Complete resection of the tumor along with the involved vessels was performed. Polytetrafluoroethylene grafts were used to reconstruct the vessels. Pathological examination revealed leiomyosarcoma of the external iliac vein. Although the prognosis of leiomyosarcoma is poor, en bloc tumor resection is the treatment of choice.

“…Other symptoms may occur due to compression of the iliac artery and pelvic organs. Primary venous leiomyosarcomas are clinically divided into nonocclusive, occlusive or terminal [ 15 ]. Other frequent clinical presentations include abdominal pain [ 16 ], consumptive symptoms (loss of weight, anorexia, or asthenia), fever, night sweats, nausea, vomiting, and dyspnoea [ 17 ].…”

Introduction. Primary venous tumours are a rare cause of deep vein thrombosis. The authors present a case where the definitive diagnosis was delayed by inconclusive complementary imaging. Clinical Case. A thirty-seven-year-old female presented with an iliofemoral venous thrombosis of the right lower limb. The patient had presented with an episode of femoral-popliteal vein thrombosis five months before and was currently under anticoagulation. Phlegmasia alba dolens installed progressively, as thrombus rapidly extended to the inferior vena cava despite systemic thrombolysis and anticoagulation. Diagnostic imaging failed to identify the underlying aetiology of the deep vein thrombosis. The definitive diagnosis of primary venous leiomyosarcoma was reached by a subcutaneous abdominal wall nodule biopsy. Conclusion. Primary venous leiomyosarcoma of the iliac vein is a rare cause of deep vein thrombosis, which must be considered in young patients with recurrent or refractory to treatment deep vein thrombosis.
