title: Intravascular leiomyomatosis of the uterus.
abstract: Three cases of intravascular leiomyomatosis of the uterus are presented. Extrauterine extension occurred in all the patients, and one of them presented with leiomyomatosis of the inferior vena cava. One of the other patients represented an exceptional case of intravascular leiomyomatosis of smooth muscle tumor of uncertain malignant potential. A clinically benign course was found in all three cases. The literature is reviewed with special comments on the histogenesis, differential diagnosis and treatment of uterine intravascular leiomyomatosis.
