Popis: Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare malignancy. Approximately 350 cases of this disease are known worldwide. Surgical treatment of this condition remains an extremely difficult task. In this case report, we present an experience of successful radical treatment of a leiomyosarcoma of the suprarenal IVC without vascular reconstruction. The patient was treated with resection of the suprarenal portion of the IVC with the tumor; however, in view of adequate blood outflow from the right lobe of the liver, prosthetic replacement of the IVC with right hepatic vein reimplantation was not performed.
