Inferior caval vein invasion not infrequently complicates advanced neoplastic lesions. Primitive caval neoplasms (leiomyosarcomas) or other tumors such as renal carcinomas, pheochromocytoma, as well as liver, testis, and retroperitoneal tumors most likely cause caval invasion. In the past, caval invasion was a clear index of non operability, while today, a modern multidisciplinary approach allows to treat successfully even so advanced diseases. In the present report the Authors analyze the cases treated at the Dept. of Surgery of the University of Perugia, and review the most important international reports on this subject illustrating the new possibilities offered by IVC substitution with biological or artificial grafts.

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.

D010673 Pheochromocytoma A usually benign, well-encapsulated, lobular, vascular tumor of chromaffin tissue of the ADRENAL MEDULLA or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE, is HYPERTENSION, which may be persistent or intermittent. During severe attacks, there may be HEADACHE; SWEATING, palpitation, apprehension, TREMOR; PALLOR or FLUSHING of the face, NAUSEA and VOMITING, pain in the CHEST and ABDOMEN, and paresthesias of the extremities. The incidence of malignancy is as low as 5% but the pathologic distinction between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas is not clear.
