MR imaging findings of stage I intravenous leiomyomatosis: a retrospective single-center study in 19 cases

ConclusionIdentifying the characteristic MRI features of stage-I IVL helped improve the diagnostic accuracy achieves for this rare tumor. Stage-I IVL often presents as a large mass accompanied by leiomyoma, and it easily invades the broad ligament. TIWI signals exhibited isointensity, and T2WI signals contained iso- or slight hyperintensity. Tortuous vessels were present within or next to the lesions, and multiple winding cord-like filling defects were observed within the tortuous vessels on the T2WIs.Graphical abstract
