“…Mayer‐Rokitansky‐Kuster‐Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is the second most common cause of primary amenorrhea after gonadal dysgenesis. The uterus is represented by bilateral rudimentary primordia with no reproductive potential [1]. A rare case of leiomyoma associated with MRKH is described.…”

stratified based on if one versus multiple cervical sites were sampled (Table 1). There was more disease in quadrants with visible lesions, but a substantial proportion of disease was identified in quadrants without visible lesions.By obtaining a punch biopsy from cervical quadrants with and without visible lesions we estimated the amount of disease typically missed when biopsies are restricted to visible lesions. Approximately one-third of all CIN2 + were from quadrants without visible lesions, analogous to results by Pretorius et al.[4] who reported that 37% of all CIN2 + lesions in HIV-negative women were from colposcopically normal-appearing areas on the cervix. We recommend that screening studies include systematic sampling for histopathology regardless of the screening result, to minimize verification bias in cervical cancer screening trials.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a rare congenital abnormality characterised by varying degrees of aplasia or hypoplasia of the uterus and vagina. Very rarely, leiomyomas or adenomyosis can develop in the Müllerian remnant tissue or rudimentary uterus. We present a case of a 43-year-old woman with MRKH syndrome, who presented with primary amenorrhoea and lower abdominal pain. On examination, a large pelvic mass was palpated and a provisional diagnosis of ovarian tumour was made. MRI showed multiple large leiomyomas arising from the Müllerian remnant tissue, and chronic torsion of the right ovary.
