This 2008 case report describes a 17-year-old patient with primary amenorrhea in whom Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome coexisted with a centrally located pelvic ectopic kidney and a perirenal retroperitoneal cyst containing endometrial tissue. After imaging showed absent uterus, normal ovaries, and a large right adnexal/retroperitoneal cyst adjacent to the ectopic kidney, laparoscopy/laparotomy led to extirpation of an 8×11 cm smooth perirenal cyst, with pathology demonstrating endometrial tissue and hemorrhage. The main limitation is that, as an incidental single-patient case report, it provides no generalizable evidence beyond this unique coexistence. This paper is centrally about endometriosis—specifically a perirenal endometrioma identified in a patient with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome and pelvic ectopic kidney.

Abstract

In this case report, a Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome with pelvic ectopic kidney and a perirenal cyst with endometrial tissue inside is demonstrated. A 17 year old patient admitted with primary amenorrhea. Pubertal stages were completed. In pelvic ultrasonography; uterus could not be detected, a 6 x 11 cm sized cystic lesion was seen on the right adnexal area. A centrally located 5.5 x 9 cm sized ectopic pelvic kidney was detected. Hormones and tumor markers were normal. Laparoscopy was planned. In the laparoscopic observation, uterus and both tubes could not be detected, ovaries were normal. There was a 6 x 7 cm sized cyst located in the retroperitoneal area, the origin of the cyst could not be identified. Laparatomy was considered, retroperitoneal space was entered, an 8 x 11 cm sized smooth contoured perirenal cyst adjacent to the pelvic kidney was detected. Cyst was extirpated. The pathology result was reported to include endometrial tissue and hemorrhage inside.
