Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis: A case report
Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL) or leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata is a sporadic benign disease characterized by several solid peritoneal smooth muscle nodules that proliferate along the abdominopelvic cavity. The source of the condition is undetermined, although suspected cause...

| description | Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL) or leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata is a sporadic benign disease characterized by several solid peritoneal smooth muscle nodules that proliferate along the abdominopelvic cavity. The source of the condition is undetermined, although suspected causes include iatrogenic and hormonal stimulation. It primarily affects women of reproductive age. Imaging investigations are important in determining the extent of lesions and the presence of malignancy. There are no conventional therapeutic guidelines for the therapy of DPL, hence the risk of malignant transformation is low. We discuss the case of a 41-year-old woman who had a previous laparoscopic hysterectomy and presented 4 years later with numerous peritoneal tumors the diagnosis of DPL was suspected by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and confirmed by histology. |
