Intravascular Leiomyoma Considered Preoperatively as Uterine Sarcoma: A Rare Case

Abstract

Intravascular leiomyoma (IVL) is usually defined as a histologically benign leiomyoma that originates in a uterine fibroid or the intrauterine vein wall and grows and expands intravenously. We report a case in which pelvic IVL was detected early and discuss the early diagnosis of and best treatment for this tumor.
