Background:

Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis is a rare, benign disease characterized by the proliferation of multiple peritoneal and subperitoneal nodules consisting of smooth muscle cells. Diagnosis is difficult due to its similarity to peritoneal carcinomatosis. less There are 200 cases reported in the world literature.

Clinical case:

A 29-year-old female with a history of abdominal hysterectomy due to myomatosis 4 years ago, came due to abdominal pain, multiple solid images of different sizes were observed in the tomography, she underwent elective surgery, histological analysis confirmed benign smooth muscle tumors. We present a case operated on in our center.

Palavras-chave : Leiomyomatosis peritoneal disseminated; Leiomyoma; Surgery.
