Intravenous leiomyomatosis.
We present two cases of intravenous leiomyomatosis with uterine leiomyoma or previous hysterectomy because of uterine leiomyoma in which MRI was characteristic. MRI showed a mass in the inferior vena cava and the heart. These MR findings are useful in diagnosing intravenous leiomyomatosis.
