Uterine intravenous lipoleiomyomatosis: uncommon manifestation as a huge retroperitoneal mass with intracaval/intracardiac extensions
2013
Abstract Lipoleiomyomas are benign mesenchymal tumours of smooth muscle and adipose tissue and uncommonly occur in the uterus. Here we report a case of uterine lipoleiomyoma that manifested purely as intravenous component and clinically presented as a large retroperitoneal mass with extension into inferior vena cava and right atrium. The connection of the mass to the corneal end of the uterus was noted only at surgery.
