This paper reports a rare case of Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser (MRKH) syndrome in a 35-year-old woman who presented with progressive lower abdominal pain and was evaluated with diagnostic imaging. Initial ultrasound suggested an adnexal mass, but subsequent imaging identified bilateral rudimentary uterine remnants, including one with adenomyotic changes and the other containing a leiomyoma, which was confirmed by laparoscopic excision. A stated limitation is that the work is a single case report, which does not establish broader prevalence or generalizable causal mechanisms. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis within a Müllerian remnant context in MRKH, and it directly documents concurrent adenomyosis and leiomyoma in rudimentary uterus.
Abstract
We report a rare case of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome accompanied by simultaneous adenomyosis and leiomyoma in rudimentary uterine remnants. A 35-year-old woman presented with progressive lower abdominal pain and underwent diagnostic imaging. The initial ultrasound erroneously suggested an adnexal mass, but subsequent imaging revealed bilateral uterine remnants-one with adenomyotic changes and the other harboring a leiomyoma. Laparoscopic excision confirmed these pathological findings. This case suggests the importance of regular gynecological imaging examinations for MRKH patients and challenges the conventional belief in the non-functional nature of Müllerian remnants. Furthermore, our findings underscore the diagnostic utility of transabdominal ultrasound in accurately identifying complex uterine anomalies.

ABSTRACT
We report a rare case of Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser (MRKH) syndrome accompanied by simultaneous adenomyosis and leiomyoma in rudimentary uterine remnants. A 35-year-old woman presented with progressive lower abdominal pain and underwent diagnostic imaging. The initial ultrasound erroneously suggested an adnexal mass, but subsequent imaging revealed bilateral uterine remnants—one with adenomyotic changes and the other harboring a leiomyoma. Laparoscopic excision confirmed these pathological findings. This case suggests the importance of regular gynecological imaging examinations for MRKH patients and challenges the conventional belief in the non-functional nature of Müllerian remnants. Furthermore, our findings underscore the diagnostic utility of transabdominal ultrasound in accurately identifying complex uterine anomalies.
