The purpose of this study is to investigate the radiological features of LPD, analyze, and summarize its differential diagnosis and clinical features to improve the understanding of this rare disease.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st2\">\n<jats:title>Material and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical and radiological features from 10 patients with pathologically confirmed LPD between 2012 and 2024. The computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were examined, focusing on parameters such as location, morphology, size, quantity, enhancement patterns, and their relationship with adjacent organs. In addition, the radiological features and the key points of differential diagnosis were summarized.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st3\">\n<jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>All the 10 LPD patients presented with multifocal lesions in the abdomen and pelvis, and 7 of them had a history of hysteromyoma surgery. The number of lesions was all \u22652, most of them were round or quasi-circular, with clear boundaries and smooth edges, did not invade the neighboring parenchymal organs, with a length of about 1.5~16.8 cm. The lesions were located in the pelvic cavity in 6 cases, the abdominal wall in 6 cases, the intestinal wall in 3 cases, the rectouterine pouch in 1 case, the omentum in 5 cases, the abdominal cavity in 1 case, and the mesentery in 1 case. There were 7 cases with minimal pelvic fluid and 1 case with liver spread. CT showed circular solid nodules with clear boundaries. The density of small lesions was homogeneous. Cystic changes were observed in some large lesions. On MRI, T1-weighted imaging showed hypo to isointense, T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) mostly showed hypointense, and T2WI in some large lesions showed slightly high signal intensity, diffusion-weighted imaging signal intensity was not higher than that of myometrium, apparent diffusion coefficient showed isointense, and solid components of the lesions were significantly more homogeneous enhanced after enhancement, and the enhancement degree was similar to that of normal myometrium.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"st4\">\n<jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Although the imaging findings of LPD are similar to malignant tumors with peritoneal implantation and metastasis, they have certain characteristics, which are helpful for differential diagnosis combined with the clinical history of patients.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/jcis_144_2024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,29]],"date-time":"2025-01-29T02:42:51Z","timestamp":1738118571000},"page":"6","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Computed
