Background: To report the diagnosis and treatment of a rare disease of intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) originating from the uterus, growing in the inferior vena cava (IVC) and extending into the right atrium (RA) associated with a pelvic arteriovenous fistula (AVF). This is the first reported case of IVL in the IVC and RA with pulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma (PBML) secondary to a pelvic AVF despite the use of GnRH agonists in a nonmenopausal woman.
Case Presentation: The patient was a 50-year-old premenopausal woman with a history of surgical resection for and antiestrogen conservative drug for pulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma (PBML) 5 years.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) compression secondary to mass effect is accompanied by edema, ascites, back and abdominal pain, and central nervous system symptoms. Most IVC syndrome cases described in the literature focus on the focal treatment of IVC lesions, and reports of complete iliocaval reconstructions secondary to malignant IVC syndrome in the palliative context are limited. In this case report, we describe the clinical presentation, technical approach, and symptomatic outcomes of a patient with extensive malignant compression and invasion of the iliofemoral venous system.
