We studied a 57 year-old patient of black complexion, with swelling of the lower limbs which was relevant due to its mass and extension. The clinical discussion guided us to search for a lesion or retroperitoneal tumor associated with a compression syndrome or obstruction of the inferior vena cava, which was determined radiologically. Histological confirmation was obtained through surgery.

Palabras clave : Retroperitoneal fibrosis; edema; inferior vena cava compression syndrome.
