Abstract
Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a rare clinicopatholo gic entity typically observed in women of reproductive age. Its malign ant degeneration has been reported in literature in only three cases. In this report we describe the clinical course of two more cases with proved malignant transformation of LPD; both cases were treated with c ombined chemotherapy. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
