## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare case of a pelvic and abdominal anatomical anomaly in a cadaver, which could help improve understanding and diagnosis of Müllerian duct anomalies.

## Contribution

The paper presents a rare cadaveric case of a Müllerian duct anomaly with uterine masses, adding to the limited literature on this condition.

## Key findings

- A class I Müllerian duct anomaly with uterine masses was identified in a cadaver.
- This case is only the second reported instance of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome with uterine masses in cadavers.
- The case highlights the importance of recognizing such anomalies during anatomical dissection.

## Abstract

Müllerian duct anomalies (MDAs) are a congenital abnormality of the paramesonephric ducts that result in malformation of the uterus, cervix, and/or vagina. Here, the authors present a class I MDA potentially suggesting Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome with two masses incidentally found upon dissection into the uterine cavity. Only a single MRKH syndrome with uterine masses in cadavers has been previously described in the literature. The authors aim to enrich the body of gynecological and reproductive research currently available by increasing understanding of the types of MDAs and to increase anatomical understanding of the condition. This will help anatomists and students of anatomy identify MDAs during dissection, which will ultimately help physicians more appropriately counsel future patients in reproductive health and direct them to appropriate treatment.
