Disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis (DPL) is a rare gynecologic disease involving multifocal proliferation of myomas. The pathogenesis remains unclear. Although there is no standard treatment, medical therapies have attempted to suppress estrogen levels by using gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist and aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy with differing degrees of success. Surgery is also an option in symptomatic patients, and in the event of partial or no response to medical treatments. We report a case of DPL in a young woman with a previous history of myomectomy. She was treated sequentially with ulipristal acetate and AI.
