Abstract:
Intravenous leiomyomatosis spreading through the inferior vena cava to the right heart is a rare neoplasm. We report the case of a patient with a uterine leiomyoma which through a right uterine vein progressed along the inferior vena cava up to the right ventricle. She was successfully operated, carrying out a total resection in two surgical stages. Surgical technique considerations are discussed.
