Abstract

According to the data available in the literature on benign tumors resembling typical leiomyomas with their atypical location and aggressive growth are a diagnostic dilemma and though have common structural features when different imaging techniques are used. The paper presents two clinical cases of disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis in the patients who were operated on at the Department of Surgery, V.I. Kulakov Research Center of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Perinatology, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.
