Abstract

The patient was a 77-year-old woman with hypertension and no other history of interest. She presented with generalized edema, oliguria and weight gain, associated with asthenia and malaise of months of evolution.

Case Presentation

The patient was a 77-year-old woman with hypertension and no other history of interest. She presented with generalized edema, oliguria and weight gain, associated with asthenia and malaise of months of evolution.
After completing the radiological study, a diagnosis of primary vena cava inferior tumor (IVC) dependent on muscular layer (compatible with leiomyosarcoma according to MRNA angiography (image 1)) was reached with infrarenal, suprarenal and suprahepatic extension, reaching the ceiling of the right atrium, with associated intraluminal thrombosis (image2), and without distant metastasis. Given the extension of the disease and complications developed during its admission (renal (acute renal failure), hepatic (acute liver failure) and cardiac (congestive heart failure in anasarca situation, atrial fibrillation) we discard the option of surgical resection, opting for treatment palliative, performing a multidisciplinary approach to the case Finally, after clinical deterioration, the patient's death occurs three weeks after admission.
