On physical examination, a large pelvic mass was detected. A provisional diagnosis of left ovarian neoplasm was made on USG and CT scan for which an exploratory laparotomy was performed. Finally, it was diagnosed as a case of multiple leiomyomas with hyaline degeneration on histopathological examination.Myoma arising from a rudimentary uterine knob/anlage is a rare finding but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pelvic mass in patients with MRKH syndrome.How to cite this articleSingh S, Chakravarty B, Chakravarty M, Chakravarty A.
