Ultrasound diagnostic value and clinical analysis of 61 uterine intravenous leiomyomatosis cases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a rare benign smooth muscle tumor, for which the ultrasound features and diagnostic value have rarely been reported due to its infrequent presentation. This study aimed to analyze ultrasonographic characteristics and diagnostic value of uterine IVL and explore risk factors influencing postoperative recurrence.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted of 61 patients who underwent surgical treatment from December 2014 to December 2023. Intraoperative or postoperative pathology confirmed uterine IVL in these patients. Clinical data and ultrasonographic features were analyzed, including IVL location, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) classification, shape, involved vessels, extent of involvement,
