title: Case report and surgical solution for a voluminous uterine leiomyoma in a woman with complicated Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe a case of leiomyoma in a patient with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, "Sacra Famiglia Hospital," Novafeltria, Italy.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 47-year-old woman with MRKH syndrome with lower abdominal pain and pelvic tumescence.
  
  
  METHODS
  Surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  Results on ultrasound scan and magnetic resonance imaging.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A pelvic leiomyoma originating from uterine remnant; resection of the mass was performed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Even though magnetic resonance imaging is useful for the diagnosis of leiomyoma of the rudimentary uterus in MRKH syndrome, surgery might be the only definitive solution. Removal of the opposite uterine remnant could also be proposed.
