Intravascular leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare benign smooth muscle neoplasm growing within the pelvic venous system, often with caval and intracardiac extension. It frequently coexists with uterine leiomyomas or occurs in women with a history of myomectomy or hysterectomy. IVL is often asymptomatic until intracardiac extension occurs, and carries a risk of sudden death, necessitating timely diagnosis and management. We present a case of IVL diagnosed on hysterectomy specimen with extension to the inferior vena cava found on follow-up imaging. The patient underwent complete resection with multidisciplinary involvement of Gynaecological Oncology and Vascular Surgery and remains disease free following 12 months of follow-up.
血管平滑肌瘤病(IVL)是一种罕见的良性平滑肌肿瘤,生长在盆腔静脉系统内,常伴有腔静脉和心内延伸。它常与子宫平滑肌瘤共存,或发生在有子宫肌瘤切除术或子宫切除术病史的妇女中。IVL 通常无症状,直到发生心内延伸,并有猝死的风险,需要及时诊断和治疗。我们报告了一例在子宫切除标本中诊断的 IVL 病例,在随访影像学检查中发现延伸至下腔静脉。该患者在妇科肿瘤学和血管外科的多学科参与下进行了完全切除,随访 12 个月后无疾病。
