Abstract

Salem Wehbe G, Bitar R, Zreik T, Walter C and Sleiman Z

Background: The occurrence of an extra-uterine leiomyoma, arising from the intra-peritoneal portion of the round ligament in a lady with Müllerian agenesis diagnosed at the age of forty is extremely rare. We report a case of this rare combination in a Middle Eastern woman.

Case: A 40 years old lady, primarily amenorrheic, presented to our clinic for an infertility consultation. The work-up showed features suggestive of Mayer-Rokitansky- Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome with a leiomyoma arising from the intra-peritoneal part of the round ligament.
