Abstract

Leiomyoma are very common in the normal uterus; however, they are rather rare in mullerian duct remnant. We report a case of mullerian duct remnant leiomyoma associated with vaginal agenesis. The mass had papillary growth with cystic-solid components by ultrasound. Ovarian cancer was suspected preoperatively. Finally, a fibroid with hyalinization and chondroid metaplasia was diagnosed histopathologically. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of mullerian duct remnant leiomyoma with degeneration, mimicking ovarian cancer by ultrasound. We provide the clinical details of this case and discuss a diagnostic pitfall.
