Abstract

Intravenous leiomyomatosis originating from the uterus and involving the right ventricle, right atrium, inferior vena cava and iliac veins is an uncommon disease. We report here on a leiomyomatosis in a 35-year-old woman who presented with tumors in her heart and inferior vena cava. The correct diagnosis was achieved by using the transthoracic echocardiographic, cardiac CT and pelvic MRI findings.
