Abstract

Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a benign tumor that originates from a uterine myoma and rarely extends to the heart through the inferior vena cava (IVC). Echocardiography revealed an abnormal mass in the right atrium in a 63-year-old asymptomatic woman. Preoperative examination revealed a tumor extending from a myoma through the right internal iliac vein to the right atrium, and the patient was diagnosed with IVL. She underwent sternotomy combined with laparotomy, and the intravenous and intracardiac tumor was removed under normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass without cardiac arrest. Hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy were also performed. No additional therapy was required after surgery.
