A whole-body computed tomography revealed a retroperitoneal mass of approximately 8\u2009cm in diameter, invading the lumen of the inferior vena cava, extending to the renal vein confluence. An en bloc resection of the solid mass was performed. Macroscopically the tumor did not seem to insist on the resection margin.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and the patient was discharged after eight days, starting adjuvant chemotherapy. During the follow-up, the patient did not show other fainting episode, and at 24 months he is disease free. Conclusions: Unusually, fainting could even be the isolated sign of a large leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava, also when it affects its middle portion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0268355514535928","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,17]],"date-time":"2014-05-17T02:28:19Z","timestamp":1400293699000},"page":"492-495","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Fainting as an unusual presentation of a large inferior vena cava leiomyosarcoma"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Giuseppe Massimiliano De","family":"Luca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences and Human Oncology, Unit of Endocrine, Digestive and Emergency Surgery, University Medical School \u201cA.
