Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL) is a rare benign disease characterised by multiple peritoneal smooth muscle nodules growing along the submesothelial tissues of the abdomino pelvic peritoneum. It is associated with increased levels of serum gonadal steroids. Almost all cases of DPL are associated with a gynaecological disorder or mass in the abdominal cavity. We present a case of DPL who manifested with chronic constipation and abdominal distension.
