A 44-year-old Japanese woman with leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava is reported. She presented with Budd-Chiari syndrome and died of hepatic failure about 3 months after the onset of symptoms. The tumor arose from the middle segment of the inferior vena cava, occluded the inferior vena cava and projected into the right atrium. A total of 28 cases of Budd-Chiari syndrome due to primary leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava are reviewed.

D007890 Leiomyosarcoma A sarcoma containing large spindle cells of smooth muscle. Although it rarely occurs in soft tissue, it is common in the viscera. It is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract and uterus. The median age of patients is 60 years.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D006502 Budd-Chiari Syndrome A condition in which the hepatic venous outflow is obstructed anywhere from the small HEPATIC VEINS to the junction of the INFERIOR VENA CAVA and the RIGHT ATRIUM. Usually the blockage is extrahepatic and caused by blood clots (THROMBUS) or fibrous webs. Parenchymal FIBROSIS is uncommon.
