Abstract

Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata is a rare condition characterized by the presence of multiple intraabdominal nodules that consist of benign smooth muscle. We found 42 documented cases in the literature. Malignant degeneration appears to be extremely rare. We describe the second case with proved malignancy.
