The aim of this report is to highlight the importance of a comprehensive preoperative evaluation in the case of intravenous leiomyomatosis.
A 49-year-old women was presented with dyspnea and abdominal distension. Imaging studies revealed a large leiomyoma with intravenous leiomyomatosis from this mass to the right parauterine veins, right ovarian vein reaching the inferior vena cava. Complete resection was performed by a two-stage operation by a multidisciplinary team. Final pathology confirmed it to be intravenous leiomyomatosis and uterine leiomyomas.
Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a benign and rare disease that can be a fatal condition. Precise diagnosis and appropriate treatment are important for the best outcome. Gynecologists should consider this rare disease when a patient with a uterine tumor shows symptoms such as chest pain and dyspnea.
本报告旨在强调全面的术前评估在静脉内平滑肌瘤病中的重要性。
一名 49 岁女性因呼吸困难和腹胀就诊。影像学检查显示巨大平滑肌瘤,伴静脉内平滑肌瘤病,该肿块从子宫延伸至右侧子宫旁静脉,右侧卵巢静脉延伸至下腔静脉。多学科团队通过两阶段手术进行了完全切除。最终病理证实为静脉内平滑肌瘤病和子宫平滑肌瘤。
静脉内平滑肌瘤病是一种良性且罕见的疾病,但可能导致致命后果。精确的诊断和适当的治疗对于获得最佳结果至关重要。当患有子宫肿瘤的患者出现胸痛和呼吸困难等症状时,妇科医生应考虑这种罕见疾病。
