The paper reports a rare Müllerian anomaly case: a unicornuate uterus with a noncommunicating, laterally dislocated rudimentary horn that contained functioning endometrial islands and presented with adenomyosis. The authors describe an associated ipsilateral renal agenesis. The key finding is that adenomyosis occurred within this rudimentary horn despite its noncommunicating status, highlighted by the presence of endometrial islands. As a single case report, it provides detailed description but limited generalizability. Relevance to endometriosis: The paper is centrally about adenomyosis in association with a unicornuate uterus/rudimentary horn anomaly, and it does not explicitly discuss endometriosis.
