Acute torsion of uterine remnant leiomyoma with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome

Acute Torsion of Paraovarian Cyst and Ipsilateral Uterine Remnant Leiomyoma in a Patient with Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser Syndrome

“…Three previous studies have reported acute torsion of remnant uterine leiomyomas [2][3][4]. We describe a rare co-occurrence of remnant uterine leiomyoma and torsion of paraovarian cyst in a patient with MRKH syndrome.…”

Torsion of a rudimentary uterine horn with multiple leiomyomas in a case of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome

“…A rudimentary uterine horn is a typical site where estrogen-dependent smooth muscle cells are found and is a most likely site for the occurrence of leiomyomas or ade- nomyosis in patients with MRKH syndrome. Few cases of leiomyomas arising from the rudimentary uterine horn have been reported in the literature [3,4,[8][9][10]. Secondary to its mass effect, the risk of torsion in large pedunculated leiomyomas arising from a small uterine remnant is increased [9].…”

“…Few cases of leiomyomas arising from the rudimentary uterine horn have been reported in the literature [3,4,[8][9][10]. Secondary to its mass effect, the risk of torsion in large pedunculated leiomyomas arising from a small uterine remnant is increased [9]. To date, 3 case reports have described the torsion of the rudimentary uterine horn with protruding leiomyomas [8][9][10].…”

“…Secondary to its mass effect, the risk of torsion in large pedunculated leiomyomas arising from a small uterine remnant is increased [9]. To date, 3 case reports have described the torsion of the rudimentary uterine horn with protruding leiomyomas [8][9][10]. Of note, in all these 3 cases, the pelvic mass was removed by laparotomy (Table 1).…”

Adnexal torsion in a patient with Müllerian agenesis undergoing ovarian stimulation: a case report

“…5 It may therefore follow that having total absence of utero-ovarian ligaments and absence of the uterus creating more free space in the pelvis in patients with Müllerian agenesis compared to those patients with these structures, could increase the risk of adnexal torsion. [5][6] There have been case reports of ovarian torsion in patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser due to the presence of uterine remnant leiomyomas 7 and in adolescence. 5 However, there are currently no other case reports of ovarian torsion in the setting of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in this population (using search terms Müllerian agenesis, Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome, uterovaginal agenesis, ovarian torsion, and adnexal torsion).…”
