A woman in her 50s presented with exertional dyspnea and sudden syncope, and she had a history of hysteromyomectomy. Echocardiography and then cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mobile mass in the right atrium and ventricle (). Computed tomography angiography showed a mass in the inferior vena cava with intracardiac extension (, A). The patient was treated with extraction of the entire mass from the right internal iliac vein via a median abdominal incision (, B), and she recovered well after the surgery. Pathologic study confirmed a diagnosis of intravenous leiomyomatosis.
