[Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava: description of a new case and review of the literature].

A case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the inter-renal vena cava is reported. This tumor is rare and up to date no more than 100 cases have been reported. Surgical treatment consisted in the removal of vena cava from the iliac veins to the suprahepatic veins with right nephrectomy. Restoration of vena cava and left renal vein continuity was not necessary because of the presence of collateral venous circulation at the time of operation. Venous ligation was haemodynamically well tolerated and the patient is disease-free at one year from operation. However, despite surgical radicality, prognosis remains poor given the frequency of metastases reported in more than 35% of cases.

[Possible prognostic role of PCNA in colonic adenomas].

Proliferating cell index has been valued in colic adenomas, using anti PCNA-PC10 antibody. The results have been compared with grading. An high proliferating grade has been shown in patients with multiple adenomas: this finding suggests a prognostic value of proliferating cell index.
