Complex hyperplastic endometrium in a peritoneal leiomyoma following a CISH hysterectomy

Abstract

We describe a case of a patient presenting with an abdominal tumor 4 years after a classical intrafascial serrated-edged macro-morcellated hysterectomy. The tumor was removed surgically and proved microscopically to be a peritoneal leiomyoma containing complex hyperplastic endometria. To our knowledge, this has never been described before. In addition, the pathogenesis of this rare disease is discussed. © Springer-Verlag 2006.
