The leiomyoma is a common benign uterine smooth muscle tumor. Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a rare variant of uterine leiomyoma characterized by an unusual, worm-like growth pattern within the veins of the uterus and broad ligaments. Rare case of this tumor extends through pelvic or ovarian veins to inferior vena cava and reach the right atrium and ventricle of the heart.
A 41year-old woman presented with vaginal bleeding, and she had undergone total abdominal hysterectomy and left salpingectomy for leiomyoma of uterus. On pathological report, it was diagnosed as intravenous leiomyomatosis. I report a case of intravenous leiomyomatosis of the uterus with a brief review of literatures.
