Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Intravascular leiomyomatosis is a rare benign lesion with malignant potential. The cases are sporadic. Most patients have no clinical symptoms, and the preoperative diagnostic rate is low. Case 1 was misdiagnosed, passively managed during operation, recurred quickly, and underwent a secondary operation. We learned lessons from case 1 and treated the case 2 patient differently. The case 2 patient had a good prognosis. We hope the report will be helpful to other gynecologists.
CASE SUMMARY: Case 1: a 49-year-old woman complained of dysmenorrhea. Traditional ultrasound showed adenomyosis and a solid mass 6 * 3 cm in the right appendix. After routine examination, the patient underwent transabdominal total hysterectomy + bilateral salpingectomy + IVL tumor resection, with both ovaries kept. No medication was used after operation. Routine ultrasound was performed every 3 months. The disease recurred, and the patient underwent a secondary surgery 9 months after the first time. So far, 25 months after the secondary surgery, there is no sign of recurrence. Case 2: a 41-year-old woman underwent a routine body examination, where a left adnexal mass 7 cm was found. The patient underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and was diagnosed and prepared well preoperatively. The patient underwent transabdominal total hysterectomy + bilateral salpingectomy + IVL tumor resection. GnRH-a drugs were used after operation for 3 cycle. Now, there is no sign of recurrence after operation for 23 months.
CONCLUSION: The incidence rate of IVL is low, and there are no typical clinical symptoms. It is easy to be ignored by gynecologists. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is helpful to diagnose preoperatively and reduce misdiagnosis. Good preparation, full exploration of the pelvic and abdominal vessels, removal of lesions completely as much as possible, and anti-estrogen therapy after operation can reduce the recurrence of disease.
