Case Report: A 29-year-old woman who had pelvic pain and vomiting, were examined with pelvic ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A hypoechoic pelvic mass was detected via ultrasound. A degenerated myoma was estimated, but to exclude a mass from the right ovary, a pelvic MRI was performed. The degenerated myoma was considered and was located in the rudimentary horn of the right side of the uterus. This appearance was confirmed by laparotomy.Conclusion: Although ultrasound is the first imaging modality for acute pelvic pathologies, magnetic resonance imaging is superior to ultrasound in evaluating the congenital abnormalities of the uterus}, number={3}, publisher={Acil Tıp Uzmanları Derneği}
