A benign Mullerian cyst of the uterus

Müllerian cyst of the uterus treated with laparoscopy and diagnosed using immunohistology

“…However, non‐leiomyoma uterine cysts, including cystic adenomyoma and congenital uterine cyst are very rare 1 . Rarity of the non‐leiomyoma uterine cysts makes preoperative diagnosis difficult, so that most of the cases of congenital uterine cysts are misdiagnosed as adnexal or extrauterine tumor 1–3 . The present case had been treated as a paraovarian cyst until laparoscopic surgery.…”

“…The vagina is a relatively common place where the Müllerian cyst grows, and 44% of benign vaginal cysts are reported to be Müllerian cysts 6 . In contrast, uterine Müllerian duct type cysts are exceedingly rare, and only 23 cases of uterine cysts that meet the criteria advocated by Sherrick and Vega 4 have been found in the literature 1–4,7 . The size of the cysts varies from 0.5 cm to that of a man's head.…”

“…1 Rarity of the non-leiomyoma uterine cysts makes preoperative diagnosis difficult, so that most of the cases of congenital uterine cysts are misdiagnosed as adnexal or extrauterine tumor. [1][2][3] The present case had been treated as a paraovarian cyst until laparoscopic surgery. Retrospectively, the localization of the cyst in the midline of the body and the slightly restricted mobility of the cyst by pelvic examination might have been a clue to the correct diagnosis of the cyst.…”

“…6 In contrast, uterine Müllerian duct type cysts are exceedingly rare, and only 23 cases of uterine cysts that meet the criteria advocated by Sherrick and Vega 4 have been found in the literature. [1][2][3][4]7 The size of the cysts varies from 0.5 cm to that of a man's head. The size of our case was medium compared to the reported cases.…”
