A case of pregnancy in a rudimentary uterine horn complicated with adenomyosis resulting in intrauterine fetal death without rupture is reported. Although ultrasonographic and hysteroscopic examinations are useful, laparoscopy or laparotomy should be initiated promptly in a case where a pregnancy with a rudimentary horn is suspected.
