A 55-year-old woman with a prior history of laparoscopic uterine myomectomy presented with an incisional hernia. Preoperative computed tomography reported calcified lymph nodes in the mesentery. At laparotomy, multiple tumours of up to 8 cm were found. An ileocaecal resection and omentectomy were performed. Following histopathological assessment, a diagnosis of Peritoneal Leiomyomatosis was made.
