Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata presenting as acute abdomen: A rare case report

LPD is an uncommon and benign lesion that may overlap with those of malignancy, such as leiomyosarcoma, and the nonspecific features on imaging and clinical presentation make it difficult to diagnose. It is conclusively diagnosed by histopathology postoperatively. It is rare, but the possibility of recurrences and malignant transformation emphasizes the need for periodicclinical and imaging surveillance.

Abstract

LPD is an uncommon and benign lesion that may overlap with those of malignancy, such as leiomyosarcoma, and the nonspecific features on imaging and clinical presentation make it difficult to diagnose. It is conclusively diagnosed by histopathology postoperatively. It is rare, but the possibility of recurrences and malignant transformation emphasizes the need for periodicclinical and imaging surveillance.
