Abstract

Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is rare, typically benign condition characterized by multiple smooth muscle, myofibroblasticand fibroblastic nodules arising in the pelvic and abdominal cavities in women. LPD is observed in reproductive age group especially and often mimics carcinomatosis grossly but has benign histologic feature and good prognosis. We report a case of leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata arising after laparoscopic myomectomy with review of literature.
