Abstract

Laparoscopic imaging of intravenous leiomyomatosis is rare. We report a 35-year-old woman with uterine leiomyomatosis, laparoscopic hysterectomy exposed parametrial vessels with whitish plugs extending intravascularly toward the pelvic sidewall. Complete surgical resection and long-term follow-up are important.
