Abstract

Rudimentary uterus with ipsilateral renal agenesis is a very rare Mullerian duct malformation. The most common clinical presentation is pelvic pain and dysmenorrhea shortly after menarche, in associated with the finding of a vaginal or pelvic mass. An appropriate and prompt diagnosis and treatment will prevent unnecessary procedures and offer relief of symptoms. We report one case of rudimentary uterine horn with ipsilateral renal agenesis with a brief review of concerned literatures.
