BACKGROUND: Several documented cases of endometrial and cervical carcinoma arising in unicornuate uteri have been described; however, ovarian malignancy occurring in conjunction with this müllerian anomaly has not been reported.
CASE: An 18-year-old woman had a unicornuate uterus, noncommunicating rudimentary horn and homogeneous, solid, right ovarian mass found to be a dysgerminoma at surgery.
CONCLUSION: Müllerian anomalies are unlikely to predispose women to ovarian malignancies. However, it is essential to keep in mind that women with such anomalies, though presenting at a young age, could still have cervical, uterine or even ovarian malignancies. |
