Diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis (DUL) is a rare, benign disease that causes a symmetrical increase in uterine size. Multiple, small, poor-defined leiomyomatosis nodules replace almost entirely the middle layer of the uterine wall. The aetiology of these neoplasms is not completely understood. In this case report, we present a 35-year-old female, affected by diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis who was able to conceive spontaneously twice and deliver two full-term newborns with cesarean delivery. We also illustrate the imaging appearance of diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis the day after cesarean section.
Key words: Diffuse uterine leiomyomatosis, infertility, neoplasms
