Two cases of leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava are described, with emphasis on their computed tomographic (CT) appearance. Sixty-two previously reported cases are reviewed. Four patterns of tumor growth are described: extrinsic, intraluminal, combined extrinsic and intraluminal, and intramural. CT may clearly define these pattens and suggest the proper diagnosis.
