Unexplained left Mullerian agenesis with agenesis of left kidney: A case report

Johnbosco E Mamah et al. Clin Case Rep. .

Abstract

The exact incidence of Mullerian agenesis is unknown because women with this condition might be asymptomatic and diagnosis is mostly incidental. We report an incidental finding of left Mullerian agenesis involving the left fallopian tube, left ovary, and the left kidney following evaluation and treatment for a right tubal ectopic pregnancy.

Keywords: Mullerian anomaly; absent fallopian tube and ovary; absent kidney.
