Abstract

Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a rare disorder characterized by multiple subperitoneal benign smooth muscle nodules. It is usually incidentally discovered during cesarean section or laparoscopy. In this paper, we present pre-and-post GnRH treatment MRI findings of a symptomatic patient with LPD.
