Abstract :

We report the case of a 43-year-old woman who had a laparoscopic uterine fibroid resection, admitted for rapid progressive abdominal distention, and for whom MRI and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of diffuse peritoneal leiomyomatosis. This begnin pathology is rarely described in the literature and its knowledge and important because of the pseudotumoral morphological appearance.
