Laparoscopic intervention for solid pelvic tumours in Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome: a case of bilateral uterine adenomyomas of the rudimentary uterus
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, a condition caused by Müllerian anomalies, is characterised by congenital vaginal aplasia and a rudimentary uterus. Case reports concerning uterine fibroids associated with MRKH syndrome are limited, and differentiating between uterine fibroids and ova...

description | Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, a condition caused by Müllerian anomalies, is characterised by congenital vaginal aplasia and a rudimentary uterus. Case reports concerning uterine fibroids associated with MRKH syndrome are limited, and differentiating between uterine fibroids and ovarian solid tumours prior to surgical intervention is often challenging. Here, we present the case of a patient with MRKH syndrome and asymptomatic bilateral pelvic solid tumours located close to both ovaries. Based on intraoperative and histopathological findings, the tumours were diagnosed as adenomyomas of the rudimentary uterus. This is the first reported case of a uterine adenomyoma associated with MRKH syndrome. Moreover, our report highlights the fact that diagnostic laparoscopy is a valuable method to evaluate pelvic tumours in MRKH syndrome. |
