title: One-stage complete resection of giant intracardiac leiomyomatosis with moderate hypothermia extracorporeal circulation and beating heart technique with 36 months follow-up-a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Intracardiac leiomyomatosis (ICL) is a rare benign neoplasm of the smooth muscle in the uterus extending into the heart. Complete resection is difficult because of the extensive range.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of one-stage complete resection of a giant ICL with moderate hypothermia extracorporeal circulation and beating heart technique.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The outcome of 36 months follow-up was very good.
