Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is typically a benign and rare disorder found in female patients, prior to menopause. It can be found in the subperitoneal or peritoneal spaces and is represented by multiple different sized myomatous nodules (smooth muscle tumors). Additionally, it has also been found in women after menopause as well as in men. Despite the fact that high levels of estrogen and progesterone play a significant role in this disorder, the mechanism behind LPD development and a definitive therapeutic concept has yet to be conceived. This disorder is mostly found incidentally during imaging or surgery as it is often an asymptomatic condition. The present case reports an incident of LPD, clinically similar to peritoneal metastases, in a patient with a past history of dermatofibrosarcoma of Darier and Ferrand.

Parasitic myoma is a relatively rare disease in which one or more leiomyomas form outside the uterus; however, the detailed causes are unknown. Few sporadic reports are available, and per our research, the maximum number of parasitic myomas reported to date was 26, and almost all cases were treated by surgical resection. We report a rare case of numerous parasitic myomas in the abdominal cavity, possibly including an intrathoracic lesion, which could not be resected completely.

Background: Intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL), pulmonary benign metastatic leiomyomatosis (PBML), and leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) are leiomyomas with special growth patterns and high postoperative recurrence rates. We report the safety and efficacy of a pilot study of sirolimus in the treatment of recurrent IVL, PBML, and recurrent LPD.
