Herlyn werner wunderlich syndrome (HWWS) is a rare congenital mullerian ductal Anomaly (MDA) characterised by the triad of uterus didelphys, obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. It generally occurs at puberty and exhibhits non-specific and variable symptoms with acute or chronic pelvic pain shortly following menarche, causing a delay in diagnosis. Moreover, the diagnosis is com...

Adenofibroma is an extremely rare benign biphasic neoplasm that is classified into the mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor group. These tumors tend to occur in postmenopausal and elderly women. We report the case of a large polypoidal mass per vagina occupying the whole pelvis in a young woman. Preoperative biopsy showed benign epithelial and mullerian mesenchymal components suggestive of mu...

conclusions while amh receptor expression was higher in experimental rats, their serum concentrations of amh were decreased. further researches with greater sample sizes and measurement of bioactive forms of hormones are recommended to confirm the findings of this study. background anti-mullerian hormone (amh) levels reflect the number of small antral follicles in ovaries and expression changes...

Ultrasound (US) is the first-line imaging tool for assessment of the female pelvis, allowing increasingly high resolution images and excellent soft tissue contrast without need for sedation or radiation. Transabdominal US remains the standard technique; the transperineal approach may be useful in neonates (cloacal malformations, mullerian anomalies, ectopic urethral insertions) and transvaginal...

Mullerian tumors are extremely rare malignancies in the retroperitoneum. We report a case of a 46-year old woman who presented with an eight year history of lower abdominal mass. Ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a 15×10 cm cystic mass in the left lower retroperitoneum. As serial percutaneous needle aspiration cytology was negative for malignancy, she was observed f...
