Abstract
Leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle tumors that can develop at any site where smooth muscle is present. The leiomyoma in the inferior vena cava is a rarely observed pathology. We report the case of a 50-year-old patient, an abdomino-pelvic CT scan was performed which allowed to specify the retroperitoneal location of the mass, lateralized on the right, at the expense of the inferior vena cava (IVC), with a benign appearance of the IVC, Anatomopathological examination is in favor of a leiomyoma of the IVC.
