In the 3 cases of intravenous leiomyomatosis presented here, the retroperitoneal, pelvic, and vaginal veins were completely removed. Two of the cases were diagnosed by a gynecologist at surgery, and 1 was diagnosed by the pathologist performing a histological examination on excised tissue. These 3 cases were asymptomatic in spite of the intravenous invasive leiomyomatosis.
