Disseminated Peritoneal Leiomyomatosis: An Unusual Incidental Finding During Cesarean Delivery—A Case Report

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL) is a rare benign condition featuring smooth muscle nodules. In a 27-year-old patient, intra-abdominal lesions mimicking tuberculosis were discovered incidentally during a cesarean section. Biopsy confirmed DPL, highlighting its importance in the differential diagnosis of disseminated abdominal masses to avoid misdiagnosing malignancy or infectious diseases.
