abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a case of a unicornuate uterus with ipsilateral ovarian and renal agenesis.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Baskent University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Adana, Turkey.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 48-year-old gravida 3 (para 3 with term deliveries) woman with a 6-month history of menometrorrhagia was admitted to our clinic. Our diagnosis was a pedunculated submucous leiomyoma that protruded into the vagina.
  
  
  METHODS
  The patient chose to have a total abdominal hysterectomy and unilateral salpingoopherectomy.
  
  
  METHODS
  During laparotomy, a unicornuate uterus with a noncommunicating horn, together with ipsilateral ovarian agenesis, was observed. A total abdominal hysterectomy and unilateral salpingoopherectomy were performed successfully. Because we could not detect the left ovary and left ureter during the operation, we planned an abdominal ultrasonography and intravenous pyelography (IVP) postoperatively to demonstrate possible urinary tract abnormalities.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We detected left renal agenesis by IVP.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We presented a very rare clinical condition that demonstrates a unicornuate uterus with a noncommunicating horn, and ipsilateral ovarian and renal agenesis concomitantly. The absence of one ovary and one kidney in our case may be explained by the abnormal development of organs derived from a unilateral urogenital ridge.
