A GIANT LEIOMYOMA ORIGINATING FROM THE RUDIMENTARY UTERINE BUDS IN ROKITANSKY-KUSTER- HAUSER SYNDROME
Abstract
The development of leiomyoma from the rudimentary buds in Rokitansky -Küster- Hauser syndrome is extremely rare. Reviewing the literature, we detected only five cases that had been previously reported. We present a case of Rokitansky -Küster- Hauser syndrome whom we diagnosed and treated a giant leiomyoma with a diameter of 25 cm.
Key Words: Rokitansky-Kuster- Hauser
