- Abstract
- Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is rare and it is characterized by intravascular nodular masses of histologically benign smooth muscle that may extend along the inferior vena cava or reaching the right-sided cardiac chamber, and eventually the lung. Although histologically benign, IVL might be malignant in its mode of behavior. We report a case of IVL that grew in a vessel of myometrium of uteri.
