IVC leiomyosarcomas arising below the renal vein cause pain in the right-lower quadrant, back, and flank, and varying degrees of lower extremity edema; those arising in the middle caval segment cause right-upper-quadrant pain and sometimes renovascular hypertension; those arising above the hepatic vein cause varying manifestations of the Budd-Chiari syndrome.
