    Summary

    Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) presents as multiple nodules, often mistaken for cancer. Correctly diagnosing this benign condition is crucial for favorable patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Pathology
    • Oncologic Pathology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a rare condition.
    • It presents with multiple subperitoneal nodules, mimicking widespread malignancy.
    • LPD histopathology reveals benign leiomyoma, likely from multipotent subcoelomic mesenchymal cells.

    Observation:

    • Two new case reports of LPD are presented.
    • These cases highlight potential misclassification of LPD as metastasizing leiomyosarcoma.
    • Diagnostic challenges arise from the multifocal nature of LPD lesions.

    Findings:

    • LPD is histopathologically benign despite its aggressive appearance.
    • Misdiagnosis can lead to incorrect treatment for a condition with a favorable prognosis.
    • Awareness of mesothelial and stromal multipotentiality aids diagnosis.

    Implications:

    • Accurate differentiation between LPD and leiomyosarcoma is critical.
    • Improved diagnostic awareness can prevent unnecessary aggressive cancer treatments.
    • Understanding the origin of LPD lesions can overcome diagnostic hurdles.
