Intravenous leiomyomatosis of the uterus: A clinicopathological analysis of nine cases and literature review

Intravenous/intravascular leiomyomatosis is characterized by intravenous proliferation of a histologically benign smooth muscle cell tumor mass that is non-tissue-invasive. Although benign, intravenous leiomyomatosis may cause remarkable systematic complications, presents significant diagnostic difficulties, and also is characterized by a relatively increased possibility of recurrence. We determine patients ’ characteristics, and recurrence and treatment of intravenous leiomyomatosis.
