sodium-pertechnetate-tc-99m and Peritoneal-Neoplasms

Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata is a rare benign disorder in females characterized by multiple smooth muscle tumor nodules throughout the peritoneal cavity. All of the reported cases have been in menstrual-age women; some of whom have been pregnant or taking oral contraceptives. We report a postmenopausal woman who had symptoms related to bowel-wall involvement in two episodes 12 years apart.
