LEIOMYOSARCOMA OF THE INFERIOR VENA CAVA LEADING TO OBSTRUCTION OF THE TRICUSPID VALVE

Abstract

Leiomyosarcoma arising in the veins is rare. We describe the clinical, electrocardiographic, and pathological findings in a patient in whom such a tumour onginating in the inferior vena cava eventually caused obstruction of the hepatic veins and of the tricuspid valve.
