摘要
Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVLM) is a condition characterized by intravenous growth of histologically benign smooth muscle tumour originating in the uterus, Rarely, the tumour can extend via the inferior vena cava into the right side of the heart, In only one previously described case has the tumour extended into the pulmonary artery, We present a second such tumour, In this case, tumour calcification could be identified during cine recording moving within the pulmonary outflow tract, a finding not commonly associated with this condition, The radiological investigation of IVLM is briefly discussed.
