Abstract
Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL), also known as leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata, is a rare condition characterized by multiple benign smooth muscle tumors proliferating along the peritoneal surfaces. In previous case reports, these tumors have been noted to involve the ovaries, round ligaments, bladder, bowel, peritoneum, and mesentery. To date, approximately 150 cases of DPL have been described in the literature. Extrauterine adenomyoma is an even rarer entity, involving benign tumors composed of smooth muscle tissue, endometrial glands, and endometrial stroma arising outside the uterus. Only 22 cases have previously been reported. We describe a woman presenting with both DPL and multiple extrauterine adenomyomas several years after undergoing laparoscopic morcellated hysterectomy.
