Abstract
The authors here report a case of 62 year old lady who had pain in right flank as the only symptom. Computerised tomography revealed a segment 2 IVC tumor. The patient underwent radical excision of the IVC mass with right nephrectomy and resection of right caudate lobe, and the specimen was later histopathologically proven to be of leiomyosarcoma.
