Abstract

We present the case of unusual intracardiac growth of intravascular leiomyomatosis in a 43-year-old woman, who underwent hysterectomy due to large element uterine myomatosis plus right oophorectomy for a probable tumor with a current history of dyspnea, accompanied by palpitations, fatigue, dizziness, it improves with rest. In the imaging approach, a thoracoabdominal Angio tomography was performed, evidencing thrombosis at the level of the superior vena cava and right atrium, transthoracic echocardiography showed a mass in the right cavity. Given its unusual presentation and the difficulties in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach, a subsequent review of the literature is carried out.
