Objective:
To describe a case of an accessory uterine structure.
Design:
Case report.
Setting:
University affiliated, community-based hospital.
Patient(S):
A 35-year-old woman who presented for laparoscopic tubal sterilization.
Intervention(S):
Laparoscopy, tubal sterilization, dye test, and excision of accessory uterine structure.
Main Outcome Measure(S):
Laparoscopic findings and resection of the anomaly.
Result(S):
Laparoscopy showed a hollow uterine appendage that communicated with the uterine cavity. This was completely excised.
Conclusion(S):
We report a rare case of a uterine anomaly that is inconsistent with the traditional classification system, and we offer a possible mechanism for its formation.

The mesenchyme is the first connective tissue that emerges in the developing embryo. It consists of loosely arranged multipotent mesenchymal cells and reticular fibers in the extracellular matrix. This loose arrangement allows easy migration of cells, which is essential for germ layer positioning, patterning, and organ morphogenesis during embryonic development. Mesenchyme is...
