ABSTRACT
We report a case of successful one-stage resection of intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) with extension into the main pulmonary artery. The patient was a 50-year-old woman, who was admitted to our hospital with clinical signs of syncope. Computed tomography (CT) and 3 D helical CT images showed a tumor arising in the left side of the uterus with extension into the pulmonary outflow tract. One-stage radical operation with cardiopulmonary bypass was performed. Because IVL is related to many fields concerning various organs, it is important that general surgeons, gynecologists and cardiovascular surgeons cooperate with each other.
