Abstract

A 52-year-old woman with chronic low back pain was found to have a leiomyosarcoma causing a tumor thrombus obstructing the IVC, visible on transesophageal echocardiography. After surgery, which included tumor and thrombus removal, a residual thrombus was seen on imaging. Anticoagulation was started postoperatively, and the patient had a successful recovery.
