심장내로 연장된 정맥내 평활근종증 1예 : 심장내 평활근종증 intracardiac leiomyomatosis-case report and literature review = Intravenous leiomyomatosis with intracardiac extension

국문 초록 (Abstract)

정맥내 평활근종증은 병리학적으로는 양성 질환이나 진행 양상은 악성으로 모든 종양의 적출술이 시행되어야 하며, 자궁적출술시 병리학적으로 정맥내 평활근종증을 진단받은 경우 정기적인 검사를 통해 종양의 재발이나 하대정맥과 심장내로의 연장을 확인하여야 한다. 우측 심장내 종양이 발견된 경우는 점액종을 포함한 원발성 심내 종양 외에도 다른 원인 질환을 확인하여야 하며, 반드시 정맥내 평활근종증을 감별진단하여야 한다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a rare benign vascular tumor defined as the extension into venous channels of a histologically benign smooth muscle tumor arising either from a uterus or from the walls of uterine vessels, and about 10% spread to the heart. The treatment of choice is complete resection of the tumor. Hormonal therapy should be considered in cases of unresectable residual tumor. A 46-year-old woman was admitted for abdominal discomfort and pain. She was found to have intravenous leiomyomatosis of the uterus with extension into inferior vena cava and right atrium. The patient underwent surgery employing simultaneous sternotomy and laparotomy. Radical excision was achieved using cardiopulmonary bypass. We herein describe a patient in whom complete removal of intravenous leiomyomatosis with cardiac extension was successfully performed.
