Imaging Diagnosis—disseminated Peritoneal Leiomyomatosis in a Dog

Abstract: A 17-month-old male Labrador retriever presented for evaluation of an abdominal mass felt during abdominal palpation. Multiple variably sized cystic masses were identified on sonographic and radiographic images. Exploratory laparotomy revealed multiple peritoneal masses that exhibited atypical contractions and lacked an identifiable organ of origin. Histology and immunohistochemistry of multiple surgically excised masses was consistent with benign tumors of smooth muscle origin (leiomyomas). The presence of mu… Show more

“…However, the nodules were more widely dispersed than would be expected in a single hamartomatous lesion, as a hamartoma is considered to represent a focally disordered overgrowth of mature tissue indigenous to the organ involved 19 . The distribution and appearance of these lesions bears some similarity to those described in a dog with disseminated leiomyomatosis 20 . The dog described lacked the distinct arterial differentiation seen throughout the lesions described in this case report.…”

“…19 The distribution and appearance of these lesions bears some similarity to those described in a dog with disseminated leiomyomatosis. 20 The dog described lacked the distinct arterial differentiation seen throughout the lesions described in this case report. Some consideration was given to a type of angioleiomyoma or angioleiomyomatosis, but those lesions tend to have smaller vascular structures intermixed with smooth muscle proliferation rather than more discrete thick-walled arterial structures as in this case.…”
