Abstract
HERNANDEZ-FLOREZ, Catalina; JOJOA-JOJOA, Ruby I.; GARCIA-PENA, Ángel A. and BOHORQUEZ-RODRIGUEZ, Wilson R.. Giant intravascular leiomyomatosis intravascular with extension to the cardiac cavities. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.3, pp.239-239. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2017.08.026.
The case is presented of an unusual intracardiac growth of a giant intravascular leiomyomatosis in a 38 year-old woman. During a pre-surgical evaluation for abdominal surgery, the incidental finding of a mass in the right cardiac cavities was noted. Given its uncommon presentation and the difficulties in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach, a subsequent review of the literature was performed.
