Gliomatosis peritonei is a peritoneal colonization of glial cells producing nodules similar to peritoneum carcinosis. Gliomatosis is often associated with ovarian teratoma. We describe a case of gliomatosis 8 years after the removal of a mature ovarian teratoma. The physiopathology, treatment and medical follow up of this benign disease is discussed.
