“…Müllerian anomalies have not been implicated as a significant risk factor for development of uterine adenomyosis or malignancies; however, several reports describe the existence of endometrial adenocarcinoma in uterine duplication (2–4). Adenomyosis is a benign entity characterized by the hetero‐topic growth of endometrial glands or stroma (or both) into the myometrium.…”
