  • Title: Disseminated leiomyomatosis peritonealis: report of a case in a postmenopausal woman.
    Author: Nguyen GK.
    Journal: Can J Surg; 1993 Feb; 36(1):46-8. PubMed ID: 8443717.
    Abstract:
    Disseminated leiomyomatosis peritonealis (DLP) is a rare condition that to date has been reported only in premenopausal women. The author reports a case of DPL occurring in a postmenopausal woman who had undergone total hysterectomy 30 years before and had received no hormonal therapy subsequently. The lesions were multiple and consisted of smooth-muscle cells that proliferated from medium-sized blood vessels. The author concludes that the patient's lesions likely represent a histologic variant of DLP.
