Abstract

Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are a congenital abnormality of the paramesonephric ducts that result in malformation of the uterus, cervix, and/or vagina. Here, the authors present a class I MDA potentially suggesting Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome with two masses incidentally found upon dissection into the uterine cavity. Only a single MRKH syndrome with uterine masses in cadavers has been previously described in the literature. The authors aim to enrich the body of gynecological and reproductive research currently available by increasing understanding of the types of MDAs and to increase anatomical understanding of the condition. This will help anatomists and students of anatomy identify MDAs during dissection, which will ultimately help physicians more appropriately counsel future patients in reproductive health and direct them to appropriate treatment.
