Figure 1. (A) Macroscopic findings of the primary inferior vena cava (IVC)-leiomyosarcoma (LMS) (thick arrows) by en bloc resection of the right kidney (arrowhead), adrenal (AD) gland and surrounding retroperitoneal soft tissue at the time of initial resection 4 years earlier [5]. The thin arrow indicates the tip of the LMS at the cut end of cranial-side IVC (dotted thin arrow). This image was not published in the previous report. (B) The transected formalin-embedded specimen. Green lines indicate the IVC wall with intraluminal filling by the LMS, which invaded the kidney and soft tissues.
