A 28-year-old female presented with:
Persistent left-sided abdominal pain for 1 year
Initial Ultrasound (USG) showing:
Suspected left ovarian cyst (3 cm)
Possible left pelvic kidney
Small ovarian cysts are usually benign and managed conservatively. However, due to persistent symptoms and lack of relief, further evaluation was required.
Advanced Diagnostic Findings
A CT scan revealed unexpected and rare congenital abnormalities:
Unicornuate uterus on the right side
Absent uterus on the left side
Mass on the left side identified as a solitary fibroid arising from undeveloped broad ligament
Absence of left kidney (renal agenesis)
Only one functional kidney on the right side
Additionally, laparoscopy revealed:
A cyst in the undeveloped left fallopian tube, initially mistaken for an ovarian cyst on ultrasound
This case highlights how rare congenital anomalies can mimic common gynecological conditions.
Final Diagnosis
Unicornuate uterus (congenital uterine anomaly)
Broad ligament fibroid on undeveloped uterine side
Left renal agenesis (absent kidney)
Fallopian tube cyst misdiagnosed as ovarian cyst
Procedure: Advanced Laparoscopic Fibroid Removal
⚕️ Surgical Steps:
Diagnostic laparoscopy to confirm anatomy
Careful identification of altered pelvic anatomy
Laparoscopic removal of fibroid
Removal of associated cystic structure
Preservation of surrounding vital structures
