Large leiomyoma in a woman with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome

Abstract: Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized as aplasia or hypoplasia of uterus and vagina in women with normal development of secondary sex characteristics. It affects 1 in 4000-5000 female births. Women with this syndrome present with primary amenorrhoea. MRKH syndrome may be associated with renal, skeletal, cardiac and auditory anomalies. Women with MRKH syndrome may develop leiomyoma from a rudimentary uterus, though very rare. Initial investigation in women hav… Show more

“…Different types of congenital anomalies like renal agenesis, syndactyly and cardiac defects are assosciated with atypical type. 2 Other anomalies include skeletal anamolies are also assosciated with MRKHS. Klippel Feil syndrome, characterized by congenital fusion of cervical spine, short neck, a low posterior hair line and limited range of motion in cervical spine may coexist with MRKHS.…”

“…CT and MRI are very useful in the diagnosis of MRKH syndrome with leiomyoma and in providing road-map for surgery, latter being very sensitive and specific. 2 On computed tomography (CT), leiomyomas are well circumscribed masses iso-to hypodense to myometrium and show variable enhancement patterns. Laparotomy/laparoscopy is indicated when a pelvic mass is detected in a case of Mullerian agenesis.…”

“…Mullerian ducts have smooth muscle cells at their proximal ends, which probably may lead to the growth of leiomyoma from the rudimentary uterus in MRKH syndrome. However, the exact etiopathogenesis of leiomyoma from the rudimentary uterus in MRKH syndrome is not known [12].…”
