Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is defined as a the condition may be misdiagnosed as a primary cardiac benign smooth muscle tumor, growing within systemic veins. tumor or a venous thrombus, which may lead to potentially IVL with intracaval and intracardiac extension has rarely been life threatening consequences. Hence, early and accurate reported in radiological and oncological journals. The present diagnosis and appropriate treatment choices are important for study describes 2 cases of IVL extending from the inferior vena the patient prognosis. Complete surgical resection (single or cava to the right atrium and ventricle, and discusses the imaging staged procedures) is the treatment option for IVL, as it is key findings and differential diagnosis of this tumor entity. The two to preventing recurrence (3). The present study reports 2 cases patients, who complained of palpitations, shortness of breath of IVL that were diagnosed using dual-source computed or syncope, were surgically treated, with complete resection tomography (CT) and
