Unicornuate uterus with dorsal pancreatic agenesis

Discussion:

Here is a case of a unicornuate uterus (type a1b) associated with dorsal pancreatic agenesis. Association between Mullerian duct anomalies and dorsal agenesis of the pancreas is uncommon as genitourinary organs and pancreas have a separate embryologic origin 1.

A unicornuate uterus is a type of class II Mullerian duct anomaly. It is subclassified according to the American Fertility Society as follows:

  • type a: with rudimentary horn 

    • a1: horn contains endometrium

      • a1a: communicating contralateral rudimentary horn contains endometrium (10%)

      • a1b: non-communicating contralateral rudimentary horn contains endometrium (22%)

    • a2: contralateral horn has no endometrial cavity (33%)

  • type b: no horn (35%)
