  • Title: [Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis associated with endometriosis. Apropos of a case].
    Author: Dauge MC, Delmas V, Grossin M, Rubinstajn B, Moulonguet A, Bocquet L.
    Journal: Ann Pathol; 1986; 6(3):221-4. PubMed ID: 3778588.
    Abstract:
    A rare case of leiomyomatosis Peritonealis Disseminata (L.P.D.) associated with an Endometriosis is reported. A 40 years old non-gravid patient had a laparotomy for uterine fibromas. Multiple sub peritoneal nodules were found and a total hysterectomy with annexectomy was done with the diagnosis of peritoneal metastatic disease. The light and electron microscopy showed a benign multicentric proliferation of myofibroblasts and smooth muscles cells. The association with endometriosis suggests that L.P.D. must have a metaplastic origin, from subcoelomic mesenchymal cells, as speculated by previous authors.
