Objective: To describe two cases of leiomyoma development in patients
with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (MRKH syndrome).
Design: Case report.
Setting: Second Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of
Athens, Aretaieion Hospital, Athens, Greece.
Patient(s): A 42-year-old woman with MRKH syndrome presented with lower
abdominal pain, and a 38-year-old woman with MRKH syndrome presented
with an asymptomatic left adnexal mass.
Interventions(s): Clinical examination, transabdominal ultrasonography,
IV urography, laparoscopy.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Ultrasound.
Result(s): In both cases, laparoscopy revealed a leiomyoma originating
from the left uterine remnant. The leiomyomas and the adjacent uterine
remnants were laparoscopically excised.
Conclusion(s): In rare cases, leiomyomas can originate from the
fibromuscular tissue of uterine remnants in patients with MRKH syndrome
