Complex iliac artery and iliocaval venous reconstruction using temporary, redundant graft to facilitate resection of recurrent metastatic sex stromal tumor
We report a complex case of recurrent, metastatic sex cord stromal tumor involving the pelvic vasculature and spinal nerves. Posterior and anterior approaches were required with redo iliac artery reconstruction using a temporary, redundant aortoiliac to right external iliac artery graft and iliocaval venous reconstruction. After completion of tumor resection from nerve structures, reconstruction of the right iliac veins was completed and the redundant aortoiliac arterial graft was shortened. The redundant graft minimized ischemia time, enabling meticulous dissection and tumor removal. This case underscores the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in managing rare, aggressive malignancies with complex vascular and neural involvement.
