Özet
Extrapelvic intravenous uterine leiomyomatosis is a rare smooth muscle neoplasm. Uterine leiomyomatosis is a histologically benign pathology. Rarely, it can be confused with a cardiac mass. A 44-year-old female patient was admitted with increasing severity of pain and swelling in both legs for the past week. The patient was initially diagnosed with bilateral deep vein thrombosis. After further evaluation, we decided that the patient had cardiac myxoma. However, we intraoperatively observed that the lesion in the right atrium was arising from the inferior vena cava. In the final postoperative histopathological evaluation, the definite diagnosis was extrapelvic intravenous leiomyomatosis. The patient was discharged uneventfully following her second operation.
