We present a case of a 35-year-old lady with disseminated uterine leiomyomatosis diagnosed during laparoscopic uterine myomectomy, 7 years after a laparoscopy performed for the same reason. The disease should be kept in mind in order to avoid aggressive treatment due to the fact that the peritoneal myomas mimic malignant peritoneal tumors.
