Isolated Perihepatic Peritoneal Leiomyoma: A Case Report

Area of Science:

• Gynecologic Oncology
• Radiology
• Pathology

Background:

• Peritoneal leiomyomas are rare, with disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis being more common than isolated forms.
• Preoperative diagnosis of isolated peritoneal leiomyoma is difficult due to its rarity.

Observation:

• A 54-year-old female presented with an isolated leiomyoma in the perihepatic region.
• The case involved detailed radiological assessment using ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Findings:

• This study presents the US, CT, and MRI findings for a rare case of isolated peritoneal leiomyoma.
• Radiological characteristics that aid in differentiating this rare entity are discussed.

Implications:

• Enhanced understanding of radiological features can improve preoperative diagnosis of isolated peritoneal leiomyomas.
• This case contributes to the limited literature on the imaging of rare peritoneal tumors.
