RESUMO
In the setting of abdominal trauma, laparoscopy is used mainly for diagnosis, and its role in definitive operative repair is still debated. We report the case of a 50-year-old woman who underwent diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopy after being subjected to blunt abdominal trauma in a traffic accident. Multiple injuries to the small bowel and colon were repaired laparoscopically with a favorable outcome. Surgeons with experience in advanced laparoscopy and trauma care can use laparoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of selected patients with blunt abdominal trauma.

Venous leiomyosarcomas are rare tumors, generally originating from the inferior vena cava. Only two cases of ovarian vein leiomyosarcoma have been reported thus far. Herein we report the case of a 50-year-old woman with a leiomyosarcoma of the right ovarian vein. The patient underwent radical en bloc extirpation of the tumor followed by radiation therapy. The clinicopathologic features and treatment are discussed.
