“…Hirayama et al also reported a case in which the residual tumor regressed 6 month after partial resection of the IVL. 10 Worley et al reported that three patients with incomplete resection were free of recurrence at a follow-up of 25 months. 11 The use of antiestrogens such as the gonadotropinreleasing hormone analogues or tamoxifen has also been proposed because the growth of tumor is estrogendependent.…”

Intravenous leiomyomatosis with cardiac extension is rare and may result in a fatal outcome. A 58-year-old woman with a surgical history of myoma uteri was admitted to our hospital for treatment of intravenous leiomyomatosis extending into the right atrium through the inferior vena cava. We partially resected the tumor inside the right atrium and the inferior vena cava via the right atrium using cardiopulmonary bypass. There is no progression of the residual tumor after 25 months of follow-up.

Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare benign tumor that originates from uterus, and sometimes extends to the right heart. We report a case of IVL that extended to right atrium through the inferior vena cava (IVC) which was resected using partial cardiopulmonary bypass. Multi detector computed tomography and ultrasound played a vital role in arriving at the diagnosis. Complete resection of tumor in the heart and great vein, and separation of the tumor stump from the IVC are essential in the treatment of IVL.
