Case ReportsLeiomyosarcoma of Inferior Vena Cava in an Immunocompetent Young-adult Female Patient.
Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava is an extremely rare malignancy originating from the smooth muscle of the vessel wall, with only a few hundred cases reported in the literature. There are no clear guidelines for treatment, but surgical resection is currently the only curative option. Further research is needed to better understand the disease and guide its management. ⋯ An abdominal computed tomography revealed a mass in relation with the inferior vena cava and hepatic nodules. Histological examination proved it to be a leiomyosarcoma of inferior vena cava with liver metastases. Key Words: Leiomyosarcoma, Inferior vena cava, Sarcoma.

Case ReportsThe Fate of Coracoid Graft after Latarjet Procedure: Arthroscopic and Open Findings of Graft Union and Glenoid Remodelling.
Successful Latarjet procedures depend on many factors including graft union and subsequent restoration of the glenoid surface. Coracoid graft union has been studied; however, remodelling of the glenoid has not been studied extensively. We present two Latarjet cases in which coracoid screws were removed due to hardware issues, at 12 months postoperatively in one patient and at six months in another. ⋯ Our arthroscopic and open findings with respect to graft union, screw prominence, and glenoid remodelling, are presented. Both cases showed good union of the coracoid graft and restoration of the native glenoid shape. Key Words: Shoulder dislocation, Surgery, Complications, Coracoid process.
