Resumo

  O leiomiossarcoma de veia cava inferior (LVCI) é um raro tumor maligno mesenquimal. Seu tratamento cirúrgico é um desafio, pois necessita combinar margens cirúrgicas livres com reconstrução vascular, usando prótese ou enxerto autólogo, sutura primária ou ligadura simples sem reconstrução da veia. A ligadura é possível graças ao lento crescimento do tumor, permitindo o desenvolvimento de circulação venosa colateral. Apresentamos um caso de LVCI tratado por ressecção radical sem reconstrução vascular. Paciente feminina, 48 anos, com dor abdominal em hipocôndrio direito, astenia e sintomas dispépticos pós-prandiais. Tomografia de abdome revelou massa de formação expansiva localizada no segmento infra-hepático da veia cava inferior com redução da luz do vaso. Na cirurgia, o clampeamento da veia não indicou repercussões hemodinâmicas, sugerindo formação de circulação colateral suficiente. Decidiu-se pela ressecção radical em toda a porção da veia cava retro-hepática e ligadura da veia cava sem reconstrução vascular. A paciente evoluiu sem intercorrências.

Abstract

Inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma (IVCL) is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor. Surgical treatment is a challenge because it must combine free surgical margins with vascular reconstruction, using prosthetic or autologous grafts, primary suture, or simple ligation without vein reconstruction. The ligation option is possible thanks to the slow growth of the tumor, allowing collateral venous circulation to develop. We present a case of an IVCL treated with radical resection without vascular reconstruction. The patient was a 48-year-old female with abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant, asthenia, and postprandial dyspeptic symptoms. Abdominal tomography revealed a mass with an expansive formation located in the infrahepatic segment of the inferior vena cava and reduced vessel lumen. During surgery, vein clamping did not provoke hemodynamic repercussions, suggesting sufficient collateral circulation formation. It was decided to perform a radical resection of the entire portion of the retrohepatic vena cava and ligate the vena cava without vascular reconstruction. The patient recovered without complications.
