A 49-year-old lady presented with multiple recurring painful lesions over her thighs, arms, and back. Past medical history included a left sided nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma and a hysterectomy for multiple uterine fibroids (leiomyomas). Histopathological examination revealed changes consistent with pilar leiomyomas. Gene mutation analysis confirmed a diagnosis of hereditary leiomyomatos...

Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a rare disorder characterized by multiple subperitoneal benign smooth muscle nodules. It is usually incidentally discovered during cesarean section or laparoscopy. In this paper, we present pre-and-post GnRH treatment MRI findings of a symptomatic patient with LPD.

Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a very rare disease characterized by formation of multiple smooth muscle tumor or nodules disseminated throughout the omental and peritoneal surfaces. It is a benign disease of unknown etiology which usually occur in women of reproductive age. The tumor may originate from the mesentery, the omentum and even the peritoneum covering the abdominal w...

We describe a case of multiple peritoneal nodules with cysts at the free border of the omento and other locations of the peritoneal surfaces. A total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingooophorectomy were performed for a myomatous uterus and bilateral ovarian cysts. The omentum and several fragments of the abdominal peritoneum were also removed. Microscopic diagnosis was Disseminated Pe...

Multiple leiomyomata of the small intestine are rare. We report one such case where a leiomyosarcoma had arisen from a leiomyoma in the small intestine 8 years after presentation. The possible origin of the leiomyomata is discussed and it is concluded that small intestinal leiomyomatosis should be regarded as a premalignant condition.
