Abstract
Leiomyomas are benign tumours arising from smooth muscle of the uterus. Intravenous leiomyomatosis is characterized by intraluminal growth of benign smooth muscle into either venous or lymphatic vessels outside the limits of myoma. It commonly extends into the pelvic veins and manifests as worm-like protrusions of tumour protruding from veins at the parametrial margins of hysterectomy specimen. The tumor can cause life-threatening symptoms if it extends in to inferior vena cava or right atrium. Here with we report a case of intravenous leiomyomatosis of the uterus managed at our institution.
