Leiomyomatosis Peritonealis Disseminata Associated with Endometriosis and Multiple Uterus-Like Mass: Report of Two Cases

Show other versions (1)

Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminate (LPD) is a rare benign disease of unknown etiology of women in reproductive age. A few reported cases of association with endometriosis have been described suggesting a possible origin from submesothelial multipotential cells. We present two cases of LPD assoc...
