Leiomyoma arising from Mullerian Remnant, Mimicking Ovarian Tumor in a Woman with Mayer, Rokitansky, Kuster and Hauser (MRKH) Syndrome
Journal Title: GUJARAT CANCER SOCIETY RESEARCH JOURNAL - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
Congenital anomalies of the mullerian system are common defects, reported in up to 3.2% of all women. In Mayer- Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, the vagina and uterus are congenitally absent, both ovaries are of normal size and fallopian tubes are normal; rudimentary uterine horns may be present in this syndrome. Occurrence of myoma arising from mullerian remnant is an extremely rare. Here, we report a patient of MRKH syndrome with a large leiomyoma originating from the rudimentary uterus. A large pelvic mass was seen adherent to the rudimentary uterus on laparotomy. Rudimentary right horn of uterus was seen and the mass was removed in total with bilateral ovaries followed by omental sampling. Histological features were suggestive of leiomyoma.
