title: Disseminated leiomyomatosis peritonei. Incidental finding in laparoscopy: a case report.
abstract: Disseminated leiomyomatosis peritonei is a rare condition characterized by multiple smooth muscle, myofibroblastic, and fibroblastic nodules. The appearance often mimics carcinomatosis or tuberculosis. We describe a 33-year-old woman with disseminated leiomyomatosis peritonei and recurrent multiple uterine leiomyomas who underwent laparoscopic myomectomy. The images obtained from laparoscopy are presented.
