Abstract

Intravenous leiomyomatosis and benign metastasizing leiomyomatosis are subsets of extrauterine leiomyomas, a rare condition that also includes disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis, parasitic leiomyoma, and retroperitoneal leiomyomatosis. We present an unusual case of intravenous leiomyomatosis with intracardiac extension and pulmonary metastases in a 52-year-old female.

Pre-operative Contrast enhanced CT abdomen and pelvis. Axial (A) and sagittal (B) images show a very large heterogeneous abdominopelvic mass arising from the uterus, containing several small nodular enhancing foci.
