“…There is also no evidence that adjuvant chemotherapy improves prognosis. Only one patient received VP16‐based adjuvant chemotherapy and had no evidence of local recurrence or metastasis 2 . Although that case indicated the great potential of adjuvant chemotherapy, the ineffectiveness of VP16 has already been confirmed 14 .…”

Primary leiomyosarcomas arising from the ovarian vein are extremely rare and are associated with high morbidity. A 49-year-old nulliparous woman presented with a left lower abdominal mass. Although extremely rare, the radiological appearance is able to preoperatively identify malignant retroperitoneal masses, such as leiomyosarcomas originating from the ovarian vein; thus, the patient underwent a simple total excision of the mass-adjacent organs, as well as complete resection of the uterus, bilateral adnexae and the left ovarian vein. Adjuvant postoperative combination chemotherapy with gemcitabine and docetaxel was administered. At 22 months, she had no recurrence or metastasis. Delayed diagnosis and high metastatic potentiality are associated with the high morbidity of vascular leiomyosarcomas. The preoperative radiological appearance is useful for early diagnosis, and radical treatment with adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of gemcitabine and docetaxel may improve the poor prognosis of patients with leiomyosarcoma arising from the ovarian vein.

“…The benign leiomyoma is never found in the artery and it occurs rarely in vein, however the leiomyosarcoma is found in both artery and vein 3 . The inferior vena cava is the most common site accounting for 40-50% of all venous occurance 1,2 .…”

“…The optimal management are still unknown. They present clinically with symptoms related to embolic phenomena, aneurysm formation and venous obstruction or local mass, with the clinical picture depending on the site of lesion 3,5,7 . In the present case constant moderate to severe pain with the history of previous appendictomy pointing towards the retroperitoneal mass.…”

A 33 years aged gentle lady from Uttara, Dhaka, got admitted through emergency with moderate to severe right sided flank pain.Contrast enhanced CT scan of whole abdomen revealed a 4x3 cm size retroperitoneal tumour. She was explored and found to have a rare disease---soft tissue tumour arising from right gonadal vessels. Histopathology confirmed it as leiomyosarcoma of the right ovarian vein. Patient had post surgical smooth recovery. venous leiomyosarcomas are rare tumour that to from ovarian vein. Clinicopathological features, treatment and follow up of this case are discussed here.KYAMC Journal Vol. 4, No.-2, Jan 2014, Page 431-433

“…The claw sign, as demonstrated in our case, suggest that the tumor is intravascular in origin. With the advance of high spatial resolution of multi-detector CT over the last few decades, multiplanar reconstruction is possible, and these methods are useful in demonostrating the relationship between a mass and vessel, as well as detecting the tumour or venous thrombi (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). Combining the anatomical location and imaging features of the mass allows us to make the pre-operative diagnosis confidently.…”
