Abstract
Inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma (IVCL) is a rare tumor with a poor prognosis, and its surgical resection remains a challenge. To date, surgery is the only potentially curative treatment for IVCL with a 5-year survival rate of 55%. The main challenge is to combine oncological surgery with clear margins and vascular reconstruction of the inferior vena cava (IVC). In this review, we discuss the different approaches to vascular reconstruction after IVCL resection, using a prosthetic or autologous patch, direct suture or simple ligation without IVC reconstruction. The reconstruction of IVC depends of tumor location and its extension. We recommend no reconstruction if venous collaterality is well-established. When vascular reconstruction is required, we prefer prosthetic PTFE graft. These patients should be referred to high-volume centers with a multidisciplinary team of sarcoma surgeons with cardiothoracic, vascular and hepatic specialties.

Successful Complete Response of Tumor Thrombus after Combined with Chemotherapy and Irradiation for Ewing Sarcoma. Case Rep Orthop 2018; 2018:5238512. [PMID: 29610692 PMCID: PMC5828491 DOI: 10.1155/2018/5238512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2017] [Accepted: 12/05/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Pelvic Ewing sarcoma is associated with a worse prognosis. Thromboembolic events are relatively common in pediatric patients with cancers including sarcomas. We have presented a case of Ewing sarcoma arising from the left iliac bone with tumor thrombus of inferior vena cava (IVC) which was obtained complete response by both chemotherapy and irradiation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan demonstrated that the tumor arising from the left iliac bone extended into the left side of sacral bone, suggesting the difficulty of surgical resection. Computed tomography (CT) revealed the existence of the tumor thrombus of IVC. We performed irradiation (31.2 Gy) and chemotherapy (combination of VCR, Act-D, IFM, and ADR). The tumor was controlled successfully, and the tumor thrombus of IVC has completely vanished. Four years after the treatment, coin lesion in the left upper lung appeared. Suspected of metastasis, segmental resection of the left upper lung was performed. Fourteen years after the surgery, the patient has been remained free of recurrence. It is clinically significant for surgeons to treat pelvic Ewing sarcoma with tumor thrombus.

Abstract
Leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are rare malignant tumours of smooth muscle origin predominately affecting females in their sixth decade. Only 2% of LMS arise from blood vessels and most are in the inferior vena cava. We present the first reported case of LMS of the portal vein in a male patient. Multidetector CT showed a large mass in the main portal vein, which was initially misinterpreted as a pancreatic cancer. Careful examination of the multidetector CT images showed radiological features of an intraluminal mass, and a preoperative diagnosis of primary LMS of the main portal vein was made. The patient underwent curative surgery and made an uneventful recovery. Awareness of this entity and recognition of the salient CT features may facilitate radiologists in making the correct preoperative diagnosis.

Vascular resection en-bloc with tumor removal and graft reconstruction is safe and effective in soft tissue sarcoma (STS) of the extremities and retroperitoneum. Surg Oncol 2016; 25:125-31. [PMID: 27566012 DOI: 10.1016/j.suronc.2016.05.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2016] [Revised: 04/04/2016] [Accepted: 05/06/2016] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To analyze the outcome of a series of patients who underwent vascular resection as part of an excision of a soft tissue sarcoma (STS). STUDY DESIGN All consecutive patients affected by localized STS of an extremity or retroperitoneum treated between January 2000 and December 2013 with surgery including vascular resection were considered. Overall survival (OS), crude cumulative incidence (CCI) of local recurrence (LR) and distant metastases (DM) were estimated by Kaplan-Meier. Long-term vascular graft patency rate was assessed. RESULTS 2692 patients received an operation for localized disease with 105 (3.9%) cases undergoing vascular resection. Median FU was 32 months. 5-year OS, CCI of LR and DM were 62%, 12% and 58% respectively. Vascular reconstructions consisted of 52 arterial and 16 venous grafts in extremities; 12 arterial and 33 venous grafts in the retroperitoneum. Graft thrombosis occurred in 16 patients (7/64 arterial and 9/49 venous reconstructions). Arterial occlusions occurred at a median of 36 months after surgery and were treated by prosthesis replacement (3), Fogarty catheter embolectomy (2), percutaneous angioplasty (1) and observation (1). One patient eventually required amputation. Venous occlusions occurred at a median of 4 months post surgery and were all treated conservatively. Overall arterial and venous reconstruction patency rates were 89% and 82% respectively. CONCLUSIONS Vascular resection to facilitate resection of STS has an acceptable long term patency rate. However it was associated to a high risk of distant spread. Although the encasement of the vascular bundle does not represent a contraindication to surgery there is an association with a high metastatic risk by virtue of the locally advanced nature of the disease and this should be considered when planning treatment.
