This case report describes a diagnostic challenge where adenomyosis in a noncommunicating rudimentary horn of a unicornuate uterus mimicked a solid ovarian tumor.

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

Abstract

The prevalence of congenital uterine malformations is about 0.5%.Unicornuate uterus is a rare anomaly of the female internal genitalia (2.5-13%) [ 1 ]. Partial development of one of the mullerian ducts may result in anomalies in various combinations whereby one of the horns may remain rudimentary with or without any communication with its fellow [ 1 ]. Complications related to this condition are related to its presentation during different phases of life of a woman. We present a case of adenomyosis in the noncommunicating laterally displaced rudimentary horn which gave us a primary impression of solid ovarian tumor.
