Accessory uterine appendage may be a new Müllerian malformation.
OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of an accessory uterine structure.


METHODS
Case report.


METHODS
University affiliated, community-based hospital.


METHODS
A 35-year-old woman who presented for laparoscopic tubal sterilization.


METHODS
Laparoscopy, tubal sterilization, dye test, and excision of accessory uterine structure.


METHODS
Laparoscopic findings and resection of the anomaly.


RESULTS
Laparoscopy showed a hollow uterine appendage that communicated with the uterine cavity. This was completely excised.


CONCLUSIONS
We report a rare case of a uterine anomaly that is inconsistent with the traditional classification system, and we offer a possible mechanism for its formation.
