The female gubernaculum: role in the embryology and development of the genital tract and in the possible genesis of malformations

Juvenile Cystic Adenomyoma Mimicking a Uterine Anomaly: a Report of Two Cases

“…These lesions should be separately classified, as unlike other mullerian anomalies, the uterine cavity is normal in JCA. These lesions can be caused by the duplication of ductal mullerian tissue at the level of attachment of the round ligament, which is possibly related to gubernaculum dysfunction [4]. These findings were present in both our cases.…”

Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno: A novel, evidence-based, unifying theory for the pathogenesis of endometriosis

“…The ACUM are generally located at the level of insertion of the round ligament and is likely associated to a dysfunction of the female gubernaculum. The aetiopatogenic hypothesis classifies this as a new variety of Müllerian anomalies [79] which may be caused by duplication or from ectopia and the persistence of müllerian duct, whose fabric is to be placed in an ectopic position at the level of the attack of the round ligament and could be related to a dysfunction of the gubernaculum [79,80]. thus, maintains telomere length, and is crucial in the replication life span [81].…”

Pregnancy in an Accessory Uterine Cavity: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

“…As these masses are typically located below the insertion of the round ligament, they may be related to gubernaculum dysfunction. 8 Accessory uterine cavities are a rare pathologies, typically found in young women who present with severe dysmenorrhea or chronic pelvic pain. On transvaginal ultrasound, an isoechoic-to-cystic appearing mass can be seen at the uterine fundus, just below the insertion of the round ligament.…”
