A case report on disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL) is a rare benign Smooth muscle tumor proliferating along the sub peritoneal and peritoneal surface. The pathogenesis of the disease remains unknown, but iatrogenic implantation, hormonal effects, heredity, and peritoneal mesenchymal stem cell metaplasia has been implied. Approximately 200 cases have been reported worldwide. Owing to the rarity of the disease and the lack of typical clinical symptoms and signs, the misdiagnosis rate is extremely high. We present a case of DPL intervened in our centre.
