[Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis. Light and electron microscopic study].
The rare case of disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis is reported. A 41 year old non-gravid patient had a laparotomy for uterine fibroids and numerous subperitoneal nodules were found in the abdominal cavity. The light and electron microscopic examinations showed disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis. The nodular proliferation of the sub-peritoneal stroma is characteristic for this disease. The patient is free of problems three years following the initial diagnosis of disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis.
