Abstract:
A case of leiomyosarcoma of the renal vein occurring in a 48-year-old woman is reported, and the literature is reviewed. Ultrasonography (US) revealed a rounded uniform echogenic mass in the renal hilus. Computed tomography (CT) showed a well-demarcated, uniform, soft tissue density mass. Both US and CT were useful to detect the renal mass in the present case, and may be useful for staging of renal vein leiomyosarcoma. However, these imaging procedures did not reveal diagnostic features of leiomyosarcoma.
