Uterine Intravenous Leiomyomatosis with Cardiac Extension: Radiologic Assessment with Surgical and Pathologic Correlation

Figure 2

(a) Multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) images along the tumor arteries allowed for identification of the origin of the intravascular component (arrows) arising from the uterine tumor (T). ((b)–(e)) A plexus of small arteries, which comprised complex vascular formations (arrowheads) originating from the right ovarian artery, the right subcostal artery, and the right uterine artery, surrounded tumor arteries (arrows) along the route of the right ovarian vein and caused the diameter of tumor arteries to expand by communicating with each other at many locations.
