Simplified Technique for Excision of Metastasizing Leiomyoma of Suprahepatic Inferior Vena Cava with Intracardiac Extension

We describe a simplified technique for excision of a benign metastasizing leiomyoma of suprahepatic segment of inferior vena cava with intracardiac extension.

This tumor affects only women, particularly middle-aged women (median age, ...
