We present the case of a 61‐year‐old woman with a large tumoral infiltration extending from the pelvis throughout the inferior vena cava inferior to the right atrium, protruding into the right ventricle and right ventricular outflow tract. She had been treated 10 years before for low‐grade endometrial stromal sarcoma by hysterectomy and adnexectomy followed by hormone‐ and radio‐therapy. Due to cancer recurrence, she underwent peritonectomy, appendectomy, and resection of terminal ileum.
