    Summary

    Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a rare condition causing widespread peritoneal tumors. Hormonal factors may play a role, and surgical intervention like oophorectomy may not always be necessary.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecologic Oncology
    • Pathology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a rare condition characterized by widespread subperitoneal leiomyomas.
    • The pathogenesis and cellular origin of LPD remain subjects of debate.

    Observation:

    • This report details the thirteenth documented case of LPD.
    • The patient had a history of 13 years of oral contraceptive use.
    • LPD presents with a grossly malignant appearance but benign histology.

    Findings:

    • Hormonal factors, such as oral contraceptive use, are suggested to be involved in LPD development.
    • Despite its appearance, LPD has a favorable prognosis with benign histology.
    • Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy may be unnecessary for premenopausal patients with LPD.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of LPD is crucial due to its misleading appearance.
    • Treatment strategies for LPD may need re-evaluation, particularly regarding ovarian preservation in premenopausal women.
    • Further research into the hormonal influences on LPD pathogenesis is warranted.
