A 78-year-old woman, diagnosed 2\u2005years prior with a left retroperitoneal mass located in the lower part of the left kidney, was admitted to our hospital with a decrease in oral intake and a palpable, hard, abdominal mass. Contrast-enhanced CT showed a solid mass in the left lower abdominal cavity. On three-dimensional (3D) angiography the mass appeared to originate from the left ovarian vein. A simple total excision, including the involved vein, was performed and the tumour was found to be leiomyosarcoma. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful. There was no evidence of recurrence 5\u2005months after surgery. In this patient, the previous information about the location of the retroperitoneal mass as well as the 3D angiography results were helpful in giving preoperative evidence of leiomyosarcoma originating from the left ovarian vein.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2013-008823","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,17]],"date-time":"2013-04-17T04:52:32Z","timestamp":1366174352000},"page":"bcr2013008823","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Preoperative diagnosis by three-dimensional angiography of a leiomyosarcoma arising from the left ovarian vein"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Susumu","family":"Saigusa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masaki","family":"Ohi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasuhiro","family":"Inoue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masato","family":"Kusunoki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025042707210172000_2013.apr16_1.bcr2013008823.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"206","DOI":"10.1067\/mva.2003.83","article-title":"Leiomyosarcoma of the popliteal artery: case report and review of the literature","volume":"2013","author":"Caldarelli","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Vasc Surg"},{"key":"2025042707210172000_2013.apr16_1.bcr2013008823.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"595","DOI":"10.1016\/0741-5214(92)90003-Q","article-title":"Primary venous leiomyosarcoma: a rare but lethal disease","volume":"2013","author":"Dzsinich","year":"1992","journal-title":"J Vasc Surg"},{"key":"2025042707210172000_2013.apr16_1.bcr2013008823.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3368","DOI":"10.1245\/s10434-012-2379-2","article-title":"Non-vena cava venous leiomyosarcomas: a review of the literature","volume":"2013","author":"Gage","year":"2012","journal-title":"Ann Surg Oncol"},{"key":"2025042707210172000_2013.apr16_1.bcr2013008823.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"285","DOI":"10.1177\/000331977702800409","article-title":"Leiomyosarcoma of the right ovarian vein a case report","volume":"2013","author":"Honore","year":"1977","journal-title":"Angiology"},{"key":"2025042707210172000_2013.apr16_1.bcr2013008823.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"234","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1442-2042.1996.tb00523.x","article-title":"Leiomyosarcoma of the ovarian vein: an unusual cause of severe abdominal and flank pain","volume":"2013","author":"Kawai","year":"1996","journal-title":"Int J Urol"},{"key":"2025042707210172000_2013.apr16_1.bcr2013008823.6","first-page":"6","article-title":"Leiomyosarcoma of the ovarian vein: report of a case","volume":"2013","author":"Iannelli","year":"2003","journal-title":"Int Surg"},{"issue":"Suppl","key":"2025042707210172000_2013.apr16_1.bcr2013008823.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S14","DOI":"10.3348\/kjr.2008.9.s.s14","article-title":"Leiomyosarcoma of the ovarian vein: a case report with radiological findings","volume":"2013","author":"Cho","year":"2008","journal-title":"Korean J Radiol"},{"key":"2025042707210172000_2013.apr16_1.bcr2013008823.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e36","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjsurg.2008.02.014","article-title":"Leiomyosarcoma of the right ovarian vein","volume":"2013","author":"Chiarugi","year":"2009","journal-title":"Am J Surg"},{"key":"2025042707210172000_2013.apr16_1.bcr2013008823.9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e95","DOI":"10.1259\/bjr\/50917539","article-title":"Atypical radiological features of a leiomyosarcoma that arose from the ovarian vein and mimicked a vascular tumour","volume":"2013","author":"Kim","year":"2010","journal-title":"Br J Radiol"},{"key":"2025042707210172000_2013.apr16_1.bcr2013008823.10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"466","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1447-0756.2011.01725.x","article-title":"Diagnosis and management of leiomyosarcoma arising from ovarian vein: case report and literature review","volume":"2013","author":"Tsuyoshi","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Obstet Gynaecol Res"},{"key":"2025042707210172000_2013.apr16_1.bcr2013008823.11","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1203","DOI":"10.1148\/radiographics.12.6.1439022","article-title":"From the archives of the AFIP.
