Laparoscopic Management of Disseminated Peritoneal Leiomyomatosis in a Patient Without a History of Myomectomy

NFNilton de Nadai FilhoMSMariangela Beatriz Hoisler dos SantosMGMarjhory Gianella Cardenas Gutierrez

Key Points

  • The aim is to present laparoscopic management strategies for disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL) in patients without prior myomectomies.
  • Conducted a case report detailing laparoscopic approach for DPL.
  • Utilized laparoscopy for diagnostic confirmation and management.
  • Considered risks of extensive surgical resection.
  • Laparoscopy proved effective for both diagnosis and treatment.
  • High recurrence rates and low malignancy risk were noted.
  • Contained power morcellation was identified as a critical preventive strategy.

Abstract

This report highlights that DPL can occur in patients without a history of morcellation and that preoperative diagnosis remains challenging. Laparoscopy appears to be an effective approach for both diagnostic confirmation and staged management. Decisions regarding extensive resection should consider surgical risk, the high recurrence rate, and the relatively low risk of malignant transformation. Contained power morcellation remains an important preventive strategy.
