A rare variant of mullerian agenesis: a case report and review of the literature.

INTRODUCTION: Menstruation is a developmental milestone and usually marks healthy and normal pubertal changes in females. Menarche refers to the onset of first menstruation in a female. The causes of primary amenorrhea include outflow tract abnormalities, resistant endometrium, primary ovarian insufficiency, and disorders of the hypothalamus, pituitary, or other endocrine glands. A rare variant of mullerian agenesis, which warrants an individualized approach to management, is presented here. CASE REPORT: We present here the case of a 25-year-old Indian female with pain in the lower abdomen and primary amenorrhea. After a thorough history, clinical examination, imaging, and diagnostic laparoscopy, two small uteri, a blind upper half vagina, bilateral polycystic ovaries, and a blind transverse connection between the two uteri-a horseshoe band cervix-were detected, which confirmed the diagnosis of mullerian agenesis. There was evidence of adenomyosis in the mullerian duct element. This is a rare form of Müllerian abnormality with an unusual presentation. CONCLUSION: Mullerian agenesis is the most common cause of primary amenorrhea with well-developed secondary sexual characteristics. There are various forms of mullerian agenesis. Most of the cases are managed by a multidisciplinary team. Rare variants warrant an individualized approach to management.

Müllerian Agenesis in a patient with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome: A Case Series and Review of the Overlapping Developmental Biologic Pathways.

BACKGROUND: Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS) is a multi-system neurodevelopmental condition caused by deficiency of CREBBP (16p13.3) or EP300 (22q13.2). Müllerian agenesis, or Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, is defined as congenital agenesis of the uterus, cervix, and upper vagina without a definite genetic cause. INDEX CASE AND CASE SERIES: We present a 14-year-old female with RSTS type 1 (CREBBP, c.4395-2A>C) and MRKH, the first documented in the literature. Following presentation to Gynecology for anticipatory guidance regarding future menstrual suppression and follow-up of previously diagnosed labial adhesions, exam under anesthesia revealed a single urogenital opening with cystoscopy demonstrating a normal urethra and bladder. Laboratory evaluation was consistent with peripubertal female gonadotropins and estradiol, 46,XX karyotype, and normal microarray, and a pelvic MRI confirmed Müllerian agenesis. Given this case, we assessed our cohort of females with RSTS and found that 4 of 12 individuals also had Müllerian anomalies. CONCLUSION: Gynecologic evaluation should be a part of medical care for females with RSTS, particularly in individuals with delayed menarche or abnormal menstrual history, on the basis of the observed association between RSTS and Müllerian anomalies in this case series. Although several candidate genes and copy number variants are associated with MRKH, no candidate genes in close proximity to the 16p13.3 region have been identified to explain both RSTS and MRKH in the index patient. Due to the regulatory nature of CREBBP during embryonic development, we theorize that CREBBP may play a role in the migration of Müllerian structures during embryogenesis.

A Case Report of Familial Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome as Part of the Phenotypic Spectrum of the 2q37 Deletion.

We performed a genetic investigation into the case of an inherited Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. Our patients were an adolescent and her mother, both with MRKH syndrome. The delivery of a biological offspring was achieved via a gestational carrier. Karyotype and exome sequencing were used to complete a three-generation genetic analysis of the family. Both the mother and her daughter harbored a deletion of 4 Mb at the locus of 2q37, a syndrome rarely described in association with MRKH. No pathogenic single-nucleotide variant relevant to the phenotype was found. The deletion was not inherited from either parent of the mother. In addition, some physical findings suggesting 2q37 deletion syndrome were found in our patients. We conclude that when combined with the use of a gestational carrier or uterine transplantation, the identification of a genetic cause for MRKH may enable the application of preimplantation genetic testing on embryos, thus potentially averting the transmission of the genetic anomaly to subsequent generations.

Laparoscopic Davydov vs. laparoscopic Vecchietti neovaginoplasty in women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome; a systematic review and meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the available evidence on the laparoscopic Davydov and Vecchietti methods to create a neovagina and to compare these techniques with a focus on neovaginal length, sexual function, operative time, and complications. DESIGN: A systematic electronic search up to August 2022 using PubMed and Embase is performed. SETTING: Not applicable. PATIENTS: Women with Mayer-Rokistansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome. INTERVENTIONS: All published clinical studies concerning the laparoscopic Davydov and laparoscopic Vecchietti procedures as a surgical technique to create a neovagina in women with Mayer-Rokistansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome were obtained. The guidelines for the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis were followed. The following data were extracted: operative time, hospital stay, major early complications (within 3 months postsurgery), dilation therapy, neovaginal length, vaginal discharge, vaginal stenosis, time to sexual activity, sexual satisfaction, penetrative sexual activity, dyspareunia, score on the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), and duration of follow-up. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale was used to assess the quality of articles. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Neovaginal length, FSFI scores, operative time, and complications. RESULTS: A total of 1,163 articles were identified, of which 33 studies were included in this systematic review. Of these, 12 studies (380 patients) are related to the Davydov method, 19 studies (1,126 patients) to the Vecchietti method, and 2 articles concern both. There is clinical heterogeneity and variety in the quality of the studies. Eighteen studies were included in the meta-analyses. The mean neovaginal length 12 months after the Davydov method is 8.3 cm (95% confidence interval [CI] 8.1-8.6), vs. 8.7 cm (95% CI 7.2-10.3) after the Vecchietti method. The mean FSFI score after the Davydov method is 28.9 (95% CI 26.8-31.1), compared with 27.5 (95% CI 25.0-30.1) after the Vecchietti method. The operative time of the Davydov method is 126 minutes (95% CI 109-143), compared with 40 minutes (95% CI 35-45) of the Vecchietti method. CONCLUSIONS: The operations yield comparable neovaginal length, sexual function, and complication rates. The mean FSFI scores indicate no sexual dysfunction in either group. The operative time of the Davydov method is significantly longer. There is no superiority shown for one of the surgical techniques in functional terms.

A case report of laparoscopic surgery for Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome with preservation of functional primordial uterus.

BACKGROUND: In the past, the primary treatment for MRKH syndrome (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome) with a functional primordial uterus was surgical removal of the functional primordial uterus. In rare instances, the endometrium of the functional primordial uterus is well developed, and surgical preservation of the functional primordial uterus provides the possibility of preserving reproductive function for these patients. CASE PRESENTATION: A 14-year-old female was diagnosed with type I MRKH syndrome with a functional primordial uterus through physical examination and imaging investigations. We freed the functional primordial uterus through laparoscopic surgery and excised a portion of the lower myometrium to create an outlet at a lower uterine segment, which we then intermittently anastomosed to the tip of the artificial vagina. The patient recovered well after the surgery, and a re-examination showed no significant abnormalities. CONCLUSION: We were successful in preserving the functional primordial uterus using laparoscopic surgery in a patient with MRKH syndrome and connecting it to an artificial vagina through reconstructive surgery to ensure unobstructed menstrual drainage and preserve the reproductive potential of the patient.

Laparoscopic intervention for solid pelvic tumours in Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome: a case of bilateral uterine adenomyomas of the rudimentary uterus.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, a condition caused by Müllerian anomalies, is characterised by congenital vaginal aplasia and a rudimentary uterus. Case reports concerning uterine fibroids associated with MRKH syndrome are limited, and differentiating between uterine fibroids and ovarian solid tumours prior to surgical intervention is often challenging. Here, we present the case of a patient with MRKH syndrome and asymptomatic bilateral pelvic solid tumours located close to both ovaries. Based on intraoperative and histopathological findings, the tumours were diagnosed as adenomyomas of the rudimentary uterus. This is the first reported case of a uterine adenomyoma associated with MRKH syndrome. Moreover, our report highlights the fact that diagnostic laparoscopy is a valuable method to evaluate pelvic tumours in MRKH syndrome.

International Experiences with Vaginal Lengthening Treatment Among Individuals with Müllerian Agenesis: A Mixed-Methods Study.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To understand variations and experiences of vaginal lengthening internationally in individuals with congenital underdevelopment of the uterus, cervix, and upper vagina or Müllerian agenesis METHODS: In this study, we used a cross-sectional mixed-methods design incorporating quantitative and qualitative questionnaires. Adults with Müllerian agenesis completed questionnaires with quantitative and open-ended qualitative questions about their vaginal lengthening experiences. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inductive thematic analysis. RESULTS: Of 616 respondents meeting inclusion criteria (representing 40 countries), 46% (n = 284) reported no vaginal lengthening intervention. Vaginal lengthening was commonly reported by participants from North America and Europe (59%) and less commonly by participants from Africa, Asia, and South America (16%). Of those who had undergone vaginal lengthening, 72% reported dilator use, 34% coital dilation, and 39% surgery. Four major themes were identified in response to the open-ended vaginal lengthening experience question: (1) difficult physical symptoms, (2) practical and psychosocial challenges, (3) intimate relationships and sexual satisfaction, and (4) impact of experiences with healthcare providers. CONCLUSION: This study highlights vaginal lengthening practices internationally and shared themes related to significant challenges and positive experiences. The findings show room for improvement in the counseling and care surrounding vaginal lengthening. Future research should investigate factors that influence decision-making about vaginal lengthening and work toward international consensus on best care practices in Müllerian agenesis.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome in a young female: diagnosis and treatment: a case report.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome is a rare condition in which Müllerian system does not develop and ends up with rudimentary upper vagina and the uterus. As compared to normal physiology of the ovaries and puberty, the patients present with primary amenorrhoea a key clinical symptom. However, the exact aetiology of the disease is still unknown. A few reports considered environmental and epigenetic changes, hormonal imbalance, and cellular receptor abnormalities as possible risk factors associated with the disease. This case was reported at the Department of Family Medicine, The Indus Hospital, Karachi. A 24-year-old woman, married for eight months, presented with primary amenorrhoea and painful intercourse. Upon detailed clinical evaluation and relevant radiological and diagnostic investigation, an assessment, of Mayer-Rokitansky syndrome was made.

Sexual health and sexual well-being of women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuester-Hauser syndrome after vaginal reconstruction: a qualitative analysis.

BACKGROUND: Contradictory findings on sexual health in women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuester-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS) after vaginal reconstruction point toward the need for more profound assessment of this subject, particularly as it is still unclear what constitutes sexual well-being, especially genital self-image or sexual self-esteem, in women with MRKHS and neovagina. AIM: The aim of this qualitative study was to assess individual sexual health and sexual well-being in the context of MRKHS after vaginal reconstruction, with an emphasis on genital self-image, sexual self-esteem, sexual satisfaction, and coping with MRKHS. METHODS: Qualitative semistructured interviews were conducted with women with MRKHS after vaginal reconstruction (n = 10) with the Wharton-Sheares-George surgical method and a matched control group without MRKHS (n = 20). Women were surveyed about their previous and current sexual activities, perception of and attitudes toward their genitals, disclosure to others, coping with the diagnosis, and perception of surgery. Data were analyzed through qualitative content analysis and compared with the control group. OUTCOMES: The primary outcomes of the study were major categories, such as sexual satisfaction, sexual self-esteem, genital self-image, and dealing with MRKHS, as well as subcategories related to the content analysis. RESULTS: Although half the women in the present study indicated that they were coping well with their condition and were satisfied with sexual intercourse, most felt insecure about their neovagina, were cognitively distracted during intercourse, and showed low levels of sexual self-esteem. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: A better understanding of expectations and uncertainties regarding the neovagina might help professionals to support women with MRKHS after vaginal reconstruction to increase sexual well-being. STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS: This is the first qualitative study focusing on individual aspects of sexual well-being, especially sexual self-esteem and genital self-image, in women with MRKHS and neovagina. The qualitative study indicates good interrater reliability and data saturation. The limitations of this study include the inherent lack of objectivity resulting from the method but also the fact that all the patients had a particular surgical technique, consequently resulting in limited generalizability of these findings. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that integrating the neovagina into the genital self-image is a prolonged process that is essential for sexual well-being and should thus be the focus of sexual counseling.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome with Situs Inversus Totalis: A Rare Case Report.

BACKGROUND Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a complex disorder of the female reproductive system that results in an absent uterus and vagina. MRKH syndrome can be an isolated anomaly (typical) or accompanied by other organ anomalies (atypical). Due to the similarity of symptoms with other congenital gynecological diseases, imaging modalities remain the most important tools in establishing the diagnosis by visualizing internal genital and detecting possible organ malformations. CASE REPORT We present a very rare case of a female with primary amenorrhea. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the absence of a uterus and vagina with possible Mullerian remnants, as well as an incidental finding of a right ectopic kidney. Abdominal ultrasonography and chest X-ray showed that the patient also had situs inversus totalis. CONCLUSIONS MRKH syndrome may be associated with situs inversus totalis due to possible early embryologic malformations causing both conditions; however, the exact mechanism is still unknown. This report should serve as a more recent attempt to question whether situs inversus totalis is related to MRKH and to emphasize the importance of imaging modalities, especially MRI, in establishing the diagnosis of MRKH syndrome and the associated malformations.

Hymenal Anomalies Interfering with Dilation in Women with Mullerian Agenesis: A Case Series.

BACKGROUND: Women with Mullerian agenesis, also known as Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH), have aplasia or hypoplasia of the uterus and vagina. Regular use of dilators can successfully create a functional vagina in up to 95% of cases. We present 3 women with Mullerian agenesis who failed dilation therapy due to pain and were subsequently found to have hymenal anomalies. CASES: Patients presented at age 16 or 17 to initiate dilation. Initial attempts were discontinued due to pain. On examination, a septate hymen was identified in 2 patients and a microperforate hymen in 1 patient. All patients underwent hymenectomy and thereafter continued dilation with less discomfort. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: These cases illustrate the importance of recognizing and treating hymenal anomalies in women with Mullerian agenesis to prevent pain, leading to unsuccessful dilation.

How does the experience of the medical encounter with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome impact women in Africa?

Introduction: the MRKH syndrome is a rare congenital malformation in women. As most rare conditions, this syndrome usually causes confusion in patients and even in physicians. The medical encounter of young girls with the syndrome is intertwined in a complex matrix of social, economic and cultural factors that only contribute in creating more confusion in the young girl. Methods: the study is qualitative and designed to describe the first encounter of women with the MRKH syndrome at the physician. To that effect, an interview guide was designed for in-depth interviews with 05 MRKH women from varied African countries (Cameroon, Côte-d'Ivoire, and Senegal) selected using the snowball technique. Results: findings from this study revealed that most women go to the hospital and return more confused as no clear information is given to them on their condition. Also, cultural, social and religious beliefs on the one hand seems to blur the physician's judgment to provide appropriate remedies like instrumental dilatation for rudimentary vagina, surrogacy for uterine infertility factor, adoption, etc. and on the other hand, these beliefs also act as a barrier for these young girls who are not strangers to the culture. Conclusion: the study suggests that, physicians give to the patients all necessary information for them to take elective decisions on their health. It also suggests that awareness should be raised on this condition.

Update on Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.

This review presents an update of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome on its etiologic, clinical, diagnostic, psychological, therapeutic, and reproductive aspects. The etiology of MRKH syndrome remains unclear due to its intrinsic heterogeneity. Nongenetic and genetic causes that may interact during the embryonic development have been proposed with no definitive etiopathogenesis identified. The proportion of concomitant extragenital malformations varies in different studies, and the discrepancies may be explained by ethnic differences. In addition to physical examination and pelvic ultrasound, the performance of pelvic magnetic resonance imaging is crucial in detecting the presence of rudimentary uterine endometrium. MRKH syndrome has long-lasting psychological effects on patients, resulting in low esteem, poor coping strategies, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Providing psychological counseling and peer support to diagnosed patients is recommended. Proper and timely psychological intervention could significantly improve a patient's outcome. Various nonsurgical and surgical methods have been suggested for treatment of MRKH syndrome. Due to the high success rate and minimal risk of complications, vaginal dilation has been proven to be the first-line therapy. Vaginoplasty is the second-line option for patients experiencing dilation failure. Uterine transplantation and gestational surrogacy are options for women with MRKH syndrome to achieve biological motherhood.

Clinical features of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Haüser syndrome diagnosed at under 16 years old: results from a questionnaire survey conducted on all institutions of pediatric surgery and pediatric urology in Japan.

PURPOSE: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Häuser syndrome (MRKH) usually presents with primary amenorrhea after puberty. The present study clarified the clinical features of MRKH diagnosed at under 16 years old. METHODS: We conducted a questionnaire survey to determine the status of MRKH in Japan. Twenty-one MRKH patients were enrolled, and the patient background and clinical features were analyzed. RESULTS: The median age at the diagnosis was 2.6 [1.0-9.0] years. Three patients (14.3%) were diagnosed with type I MRKH, while 18 (85.7%) were diagnosed with type II. The associated anomalies included (some cases overlapped): anorectal malformation (ARM) (n = 13, 72.2%), renal malformation (n = 12, 66.7%), vertebral malformation (n = 11, 61.1%), esophageal atresia (n = 5, 27.8%), and cardiac malformation (n = 4, 22.2%). The comparison of patients with and without ARM revealed that patients with ARM were significantly younger than those without ARM at the time of the diagnosis (1.5 [1-2.6] years vs. 9.1 [8.2-11.7] years, p < 0.05). Associated ARM was the most frequent reason for the diagnosis of MRKH (n = 10, 47.6%). CONCLUSIONS: MRKH patients with some associated anomalies, especially ARM, were frequently diagnosed in preoperative imaging examinations or radical operation for ARM. Pediatric surgeons should pay close attention to female patients with ARM to prevent errors in the diagnosis of MRKH.

Precocious puberty or growth hormone deficiency as initial presentation in Mayer-Rokitansky-kuster-Hauser syndrome: a clinical report of 5 cases.

BACKGROUND: We report five patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS), four of whom presented with precocious puberty and one with growth hormone deficiency (GHD. Our five children add to the growing endocrine data base of MRKHS. CASE PRESENTATION: We retrospectively reviewed clinical data of 5 MRKHS patients from 2017 to 2020. The clinical features, hormonal profiles, radiological imaging and genetic analyses were collated. The age range of the 5 patients at diagnosis was 6.7-9.1 years. Four presented with premature thelarche, and one presented with short stature. External genitalia were normal in all patients. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulation tests for the 5 patients revealed peak luteinizing hormone and follicular stimulating hormone levels of 3.57, 6.24, 11.5, 4.44 and 4.97 IU/L and 9.41, 16.7, 13.8, 14.2 and 10.3 mIU/mL, respectively. Growth hormone stimulation for one patient with short stature was consistent with GHD with a peak level of GH was 7.30 ng/mL. Imaging disclosed advanced bone age in four patients and no skeletal abnormalities in any of the patients. Ultrasonography of the abdomen revealed bilateral polycystic kidneys in one patient. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging confirmed no uterus in five patients. All of the patients had a normal karyotype (46, XX). In one patient, whole-exome sequencing detected a deletion of 17q12(chr17:36,046,434-36,105,050, hg19) encompassing the HNF1B gene. CONCLUSIONS: We report the unusual co-occurrence of precocious puberty and GHD in patients with MRKHS, highlighting that abnormal puberty and growth development may represent initial unexplained manifestations. Whether the deletion of 17q 22 begat GHD is unclear.

Sexual and Psychosocial Outcome After Neovaginoplasty Using Interceed in Females with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome: A Case-Control Study.

There is a paucity of research on psychosexual outcomes after neo-vaginoplasty in women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. We compared anatomical and psychosexual outcomes between women with MRKH syndrome who had undergone vaginoplasty and age-matched, sexually active, childless women. Outcomes were assessed using the female sexual function index (FSFI), World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0), General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) tools. Although mean vaginal length was shorter in women with MRKH syndrome than controls (8.6 ± 1.8 cm vs 9.3 ± 2.6 cm), FSFI scores were comparable in both groups (27.8 ± 1.4 vs. 27.3 ± 4.1). Women with MRKH syndrome reported fewer depressive symptoms, and WHODAS 2.0 scores were comparable in both groups (8.9 ± 2.4 vs. 7.8 ± 6.7). Therefore, psychosexual outcomes for women who had undergone neo-vaginoplasty for MRKH syndrome were not different from those of the general population.

Variants in genes related to development of the urinary system are associated with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, also known as Müllerian agenesis, is characterized by uterovaginal aplasia in an otherwise phenotypically normal female with a normal 46,XX karyotype. Previous studies have associated sequence variants of PAX8, TBX6, GEN1, WNT4, WNT9B, BMP4, BMP7, HOXA10, EMX2, LHX1, GREB1L, LAMC1, and other genes with MRKH syndrome. The purpose of this study was to identify the novel genetic causes of MRKH syndrome. Ten patients with MRKH syndrome were recruited at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China. Whole-exome sequencing was performed for each patient. Sanger sequencing confirmed the potential causative genetic variants in each patient. In silico analysis and American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines helped to classify the pathogenicity of each variant. The Robetta online protein structure prediction tool determined whether the variants affected protein structures. Eleven variants were identified in 90% (9/10) of the patients and were considered a molecular genetic diagnosis of MRKH syndrome. These 11 variants were related to nine genes: TBC1D1, KMT2D, HOXD3, DLG5, GLI3, HIRA, GATA3, LIFR, and CLIP1. Sequence variants of TBC1D1 were found in two unrelated patients. All variants were heterozygous. These changes included one frameshift variant, one stop-codon variant, and nine missense variants. All identified variants were absent or rare in gnomAD East Asian populations. Two of the 11 variants (18.2%) were classified as pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines, and the remaining nine (81.8%) were classified as variants of uncertain significance. Robetta online protein structure prediction analysis suggested that missense variants in TBC1D1 (p.E357Q), HOXD3 (p.P192R), and GLI3 (p.L299V) proteins caused significant structural changes compared to those in wild-type proteins, which in turn may lead to changes in protein function. This study identified many novel genes, especially TBC1D1, related to the pathogenesis of MRKH syndrome. The identification of these variants provides new insights into the etiology of MRKH syndrome and a new molecular genetic reference for the development of the reproductive tract.

Adenomyosis in a uterine horn of a patient with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome.

A 37-year-old woman with a previous diagnosis of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome at 18 years of age was referred from a primary healthcare physician to a gynaecology appointment in our centre. She presented with a 2-year worsening pelvic pain and dyspareunia, symptoms that were previously absent and, at the time, with inadequate relief with oral analgesia. Physical examination showed absent uterine cervix and hypoplastic superior vagina. Transvaginal ultrasound and MRI suggested the presence of an hypoplasic uterus in left rotation. Laparoscopically, two asymmetric rudimentary horns were found, united by a fibrous central band, with an enlarged and congestive left horn. The three structures were removed as a whole. Histopathological examination reported the presence of multiple adenomyotic foci along the full thickness of the left rudimentary horn. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery and full remission of her symptoms.
