    Abstract

    Uterine leiomyoma is a common benign tumor that arises from the overgrowth of smooth muscle and connective tissue in the uterus. Transesophageal echocardiography is a very useful diagnostic modality in the intraoperative period as it provides us real time imaging. We report a case of uterine leiomyoma with intracaval and right atrial extension that TEE was helpful in the intraoperative management.
