Abstract
This case report and literature review presents the imaging features of the rare pathological condition – intravenous leiomyomatosis. Correct interpretation of diagnostic imaging data and morphological verification of intravenous leiomyomatosis helps to perform timely and complete surgical treatment.
Keywords: leiomyoma, intravenous leiomyomatosis, vascular thrombus, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography.
