    AbstractWe report an extremely rare case of endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) extending into the inferior vena cava and the right atrium. A 65-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to lower-extremity edema. The chest-abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed tumor thrombus invading the inferior vena cava and right atrium with multiple lung metastasis. To prevent sudden death from pulmonary embolism, she underwent surgical removal the tumor thrombus with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. The pathological diagnosis of the tumor thrombus was low-grade ESS originating from the uterus. After thrombectomy, she underwent chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel. Surgical resection and chemotherapy to low-grade ESS achieved favourable prognosis.
