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.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
