Uterine Intravenous Leiomyomatosis with Internal Iliac Artery Involvement
In atypical cases of IVL with arterial involvement, surgical complexity is substantially greater than in venous disease, as arterial invasion complicates vascular dissection and hinders complete clearance. This increases the risk of recurrence and may negatively influence long-term prognosis. In the present case, laparoscopic resection allowed precise vascular control, minimized surgical trauma, and facilitated recovery. Early diagnosis, radical excision, and continued surveillance remain essential for optimizing outcomes.
