Abstract

Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis is a benign and very rare disease usually affecting premenopausal women. We present a 39 year old lady with intramural leiomyoma and disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis. The definitive treatment of disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis is surgical, depending on the degree of the disease. Before deciding on aggressive treatment, it should be kept in mind that peritoneal fibroids can mimic malignant peritoneal tumors.

Peritoneal karsinomatozisi taklit eden dissemine peritoneal leiomyomatozis

Abstract

Dissemine peritoneal leiomyomatozis (DPL) genellikle premenopozal kadınları etkileyen iyi huylu ve çok nadir bir hastalıktır. 39 yaşında intramural leiomyomu ve dissemine peritoneal leiomyomatozisi olan bir kadın hastayı sunuyoruz. DPL'in kesin tedavisi hastalığın derecesine göre değişen derecede cerrahi olarak yapılmaktadır. Agresif tedavi kararı verilmeden önce peritoneal fibroidlerin malign peritoneal tümörleri taklit edebileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.
