Abstract
Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a rare benign neoplasm that commonly gro ws into the pelvic veins and the inferior vena cava and, rarely, the r ight side of the heart. We report the first case of intravenous leiomy omatosis with cardiac involvement in a pregnant woman. The treatment o f choice is surgical resection in two steps.
