Pulmonary Artery Embolization of Intravenous Leiomyomatosis Extending into the Right Atrium

چکیده
A 43-year-old woman was diagnosed with an intravenous leiomyomatosis at a previous hospital and transferred to our hospital to undergo surgical treatment. Emergency one-stage operation for coincidental removal of intra-abdominal, right atrial, and intravenous masses were planned. Upon arriving at the operating room, she suffered a sudden onset of severe dyspnea and showed hemodynamic instability. Intraoperative TEE showed pulmonary embolization of a right atrial mass. Removal of the pulmonary artery mass and the intra-abdominal mass, and the cardiopulmonary bypass were performed without any complications.

Multimodality Evaluation of Intravenous Leiomyomatosis: A Rare, Benign but Potentially Life-Threatening Tumor
BACKGROUND Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare tumor, which is usually of uterine origin, characterized by intravascular nodular masses of histologically benign smooth muscle that may extend variable distances, including into the inferior vena cava, right atrium and pulmonary arteries. Tumors may arise from uterine leiomyoma, walls of the uterine vessel, or myometrium. It usually occurs ...

Intravenous leiomyomatosis is an unusual clinical condition characterized by histologically benign smooth muscle lesions extending from the uterus into pelvic and systemic veins and, more rarely, into the right cardiac chambers. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with a three-week history of dyspnea on exertion, shortness of breath and fatigue. Echocardiography showed a lar...

A 49-year old woman with a history of hysterectomy 4 years previously was found to have intravenous leiomyomatosis. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed that the tumour had reached the right atrium from the right iliac vein through the inferior vena cava. (Fig. 1) The tumour was successfully removed by a single-stage operation (Fig. 2). Figure 1: Multi-detector CT showed the tumour arisin...

Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a histologically benign smooth-muscle tumor arising from either a uterine myoma or the walls of a uterine vessel with extension into veins. We describe echocardiographic features of intravenous leiomyomatosis with spread into the right-sided cardiac chambers. The patient was a middle-aged woman, with prior history of hysterectomy 2 years earlier who presented with ...

Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare neoplasm characterized by histologically benign-looking smooth muscle cell tumor mass, which is growing within the intrauterine and extrauterine venous system. In this report we aimed to present an unusual case of IVL, which is originating from iliac vein and extended throughout to right cardiac chambers. A 49-year-old female patient, who was treated w...
