Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) results from the occlusion or flow reduction in the hepatic veins or inferior vena cava and can be treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt when hepatic vein recanalization fails.1-3 Hypercoagulable patients with primary BCS are predisposed to development of new areas of thrombosis within the TIPS shunt or IVC. This case details a patient with BCS, pre-existing TIPS extending to the right atrium, and chronic retrohepatic IVC thrombosis who underwent sharp recanalization of the IVC with stenting into the TIPS stent bridging the patient until his subsequent hepatic transplantation.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, an increasingly recognized primary tumour of the liver, is associated with a very poor prognosis. A patient with this tumour who presented with Budd-Chiari syndrome (the first to the authors' knowledge in Western literature and only the third patient overall) secondary to extensive thrombosis in his inferior vena cava extending from the right atrium down to his iliac vessels is described. Neither curative nor palliative intervention was deemed to be an option in this patient, who deteriorated rapidly while on anti-coagulants. Postmortem examination confirmed the radiological findings, and histological analysis revealed characteristic appearances of this tumour within the biliary tree and invasion into the inferior vena cava. Furthermore, biliary dysplasia, which can be a precursor to this cancer, was also noted within some of the bile ducts.

AbstractLeiomyosarcoma of inferior vena cava is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor of the venous system that typically occurs in adulthood. Correct and early recognition of leiomyosarcoma is very important, because a complete resection of the tumor (with occasionally chemio-or radiotherapy) can lead to prolonged survival. We report a case of a 54-year-old man suffering from the leiomyosarcoma of inferior vena cava with infiltration of retroperitoneum and right adrenal gland.
