Objectives:
Primary leiomyosarcoma in the femoral vein is an extremely rare vascular disorder and is often misdiagnosed. In order to improve the knowledge and treatment of this disease, a case of leiomyosarcoma in the femoral vein was reported.
Methods:
We report the case of a 58-year-old woman with a leiomyosarcoma of the femoral vein and treated successfully by surgical resection. After surgery, no recurrence had been noted follow-up.Subsequently, we reviewed information derived from 31 previously published cases from 1954 to 2019.
Results:
A total of 31 patients diagnosed with femoral vein leiomyosarcoma were presented in previous studies; in all of these patients, 14 (45.2%, 14/31) patients were men. Of these, the median age was 51.6 years old (ranging from 3 to 84).
Conclusions:
Complete resection with adjuvant chemotherapeutic was the main strategy to treat the disease. Prognosis remains poor if metastasis was present, especially pulmonary metastasis.
