Laparoscopic left nephro-adrenalectomy for renal vein leiomyosarcoma using (ICG) fluorescence and 3D-CT
Introduction:
Leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant mesenchymal cancer of smooth muscle and about 50-60 % of cases are from inferior vena cava. Recently, preoperative reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) images from computed tomography (CT) and intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) are being developed. We present a case of laparoscopic left nephro-adrenalectomy using ICG fluorescence associated with 3D-CT reconstruction:n.
Case Report:
A 72-years-old female patient presented pain in left side from two months. Contrast computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a solid mass between left-adrenal gland and upper renal pole. After multidisciplinary evaluation, a laparoscopic left nephno-adrenalectomy was performed.
Discussion:
The surgery was without intra and postoperative complications. The patient was discharged in the 3rd postoperative day without complications and with oral steroid replacement therapy. Histology confirmed leiomysarcoma of renal vein.
Conclusion:
In this case, use intraoperative ICG fluorescence associated with preoperative 3D-CT was a valuable support for surgery.
