Case Report: Uterine Didelphys and Cervical Agenesis in an 18 Year-Old Woman Presenting with a Pelvic Mass

Abstract

Background: Although Müllerian anomalies are relatively common they can be easily misdiagnosed as other gynecologic conditions leading to inappropriate treatment.

Case: An 18-year-old woman presented to the hospital with abdominal pain and was found to have a 17-cm pelvic mass and absence of the cervix. Because of concern for recurrent endometrioma formation in the setting of a Müllerian anomaly, she underwent a hysterectomy. During surgery, she was noted to have complete uterine didelphys with cervical agenesis and a normal vagina.

Summary and conclusion: This extremely rare Müllerian anomaly represents one of the only descriptions to date of uterine didelphys with cervical agenesis and normal vaginal development. Appropriate identification and management of Müllerian anomalies is essential for guiding the care of these young, complex patients.

Keywords: Cervical agenesis; Müllerian anomaly; Uterine didelphys.
