Leimyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a benign tumor of smooth muscle tissue. It is rare and is characterized by the development of multiple peritoneal nodules mimicking peritoneal carcinomatosis. We report a case of LPD diagnosed in a 35-year-old patient, G4/P1, without any major gynecological history. The patient underwent an elective cesarean section at 42 weeks, during which numerous peritoneal nodules ranging in size from 0.1 to 0.5 cm were found. Microscopic examination showed a proliferation of smooth-muscle cells without mitosis or atypia or necrosis.
