Leiomyomatosis extending to the right side of the heart through the inferior vena cava (IVC) is an extremely rare neoplasm. Although it is pathologically classified as a benign neoplastic formation, its growth and recurrence rate makes its extirpation mandatory. In this case report, we describe a 57-year-old woman who presented with leiomyotosis extending from the IVC to the right atrium (RA). This patient had presented with uterine leiomyoma three years previously. The patient died in the operating theatre from hemostatic problems after surgical complications arising from the unexpected presence of a second tumor.
