A corpus luteum was found at the ipsilateral ovary of the rudimentary horn.Result(s): Image diagnosis and pathological examination of the rudimentary horn revealed that this uterine malformation was a unicornuate uterus with a noncommunicated, noncavitary rudimentary horn, corresponding to class IIc of the American Fertility Society classification of müllerian anomalies.Conclusion(s): This is the first report of a tubal pregnancy on the side of the noncommunicating rudimentary horn with the ipsilateral ovary carrying a corpus luteum in a unicornuate uterus.
