Peñaherrera MV, Delgado JA, Rojas RA, Villacres OP, López DM, Bahamonde EG. Acute appendicitis and hemorrhagic ovarian cyst in a patient with Mayer– Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome: A case report. J Case Rep Images Surg 2020;6:100075Z12MP2020.ABSTRACT
This case reports the strange coincidence of a patient with a previous diagnosis of Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome (MRKHS), who was diagnosed with acute appendicitis in the emergency service; even more rare, a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst is described in laparoscopic findings. Therefore, MRKH type I syndrome is confirmed. There is no evidence in the bibliography of these three pathologies at the same time in a single patient. The case was resolved laparoscopically without complications and an acute suppurative appendicitis and an infarcted hemorrhagic corpus luteum cyst were reported in the histopathological study.
Keywords: Acute appendicitis, Hemorrhagic ovarian cyst, Laparoscopic, Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome
