Abstract :
In this article, leiomyoma arising from the uterus remnant in a patient with Mayer–Rokitansky–
Kuster–Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is reported.
The patient was a 41-year–old woman with pelvic mass and a history of Mullerian agenesis and
serum level of CA125 = 45 U/ml who had exploratory laparotomy. A 6×8×4 cm³ solid and firm mass
with smooth surface arising from the uterine remnant as myoma was confirmed.
Uterine myoma can even occur in rudimentary uterus and it is one of the differential diagnosis for
pelvic mass in cases with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome.
