ABSTRACT

Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata constitutes a rare pathology of an unkown etilogy. It is chararacterized by the appearence of multiple pelvic and abdominal nodules, which are basically composed of smooth muscle. The first case was published in 1952 by Wilson and Peale although was Tubert, in 1965, the first who identified this disease as a pathology. Currently, around 100 cases can be found in literature. We present, as far as we know, the first case resolved by laparoscopic technique plus gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist therapy.
