Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis: A benign condition with diagnostic and therapeutic challenges

DPL is a rare form of multiple extrauterine leiomyomas. We report a case of DPL in a woman that was managed with surgical intervention and hormonal manipulation therapy following the failure of the initial surgical excision alone. We thus suggest a combination of surgical intervention and postoperative hormonal manipulation in its management, as such a multi-modality of therapy was employed in the index case without evidence of recurrence after a year post-surgery.

Abstract

DPL is a rare form of multiple extrauterine leiomyomas. We report a case of DPL in a woman that was managed with surgical intervention and hormonal manipulation therapy following the failure of the initial surgical excision alone. We thus suggest a combination of surgical intervention and postoperative hormonal manipulation in its management, as such a multi-modality of therapy was employed in the index case without evidence of recurrence after a year post-surgery.
