Fibroid arising in a müllerian duct remnant and presenting as a pelvic mass in a patient with vaginal agenesis: an unusual finding

Aust N Z J Obstet Gynaecol. 1995 Aug;35(3):340-1. doi: 10.1111/j.1479-828x.1995.tb02001.x.

Abstract

We report a case of vaginal agenesis associated with a large fibroid arising from a Müllerian duct remnant. Vaginal agenesis is rare and infrequently encountered by gynaecologists. Its association with a pelvic mass is even more uncommon, and a medline search by the authors has failed to uncover another reported case. We provide the clinical details of this case and discuss the differential diagnoses.
