title: [Intravenous uterine leiomyomatosis with heart extension: a report of one case].
abstract: Uterine intravenous leiomyomatosis is a rare benign tumor, whose diagnosis of certainty is histological. It is characterized by its potential of intravascular extension with possibility of cardiac localisation imposing a complete surgical removal and a suitable imagery postoperatively. We report the case of a 63-year-old patient, presenting a cardiac extension complicating a LIV, by which we will discuss the diagnosis aspects, prognosis and therapeutic of this pathology.
