This case describes a 45-year-old woman with perimenopausal bleeding due to a unicornuate uterus with adenomyosis and a non-communicating rudimentary horn, who was successfully treated with total hysterectomy.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

A 45-year-old woman admitted to our hospital complaining of perimenopausal uterine bleeding not responding to medical treatment. Ultrasound evaluation revealed unicornuate uterus with adenomyosis and it was so difficult to see the distant small left rudimentary horn on ultrasound. The patient underwent laparotomy with total hysterectomy for both horns and was sent to pathologist that indicated adenomyosis and non-communicating non-cavitated left rudimentary horn.
