Abstract
Uterine leiomyoma is a very frequent pathology, which affects up to 30% of female population over the age of 35. Although leiomyomas are benign tumors there are some unusual locations and growth patterns of how they can develop and progress. Intravenous leiomyomatosis is one of the extra uterine types of leiomyoma, which is described as intralumenal growth of smooth muscle into either venous or lymphatic vessels outside the limits of myoma. Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a rare benign tumor, but despite its benign histological features, invasion of large vessels and cardiac extension can occur and be fatal (1-3). We present a case of 46-year-old woman who was histologically diagnosed with uterine leiomyoma after vaginal hysterectomy. The aim of the study is to investigate all possible treatments of the intravenous leiomyomatosis and determine the further follow-up.
