Abstract
Uterine malformations are rarely associated with gonadal anomalies. The development
of the gonad proceeds normally even in instances in which the uterus is absent. The
following is a report of a patient with multiple somatic anomalies, who presented
with unilateral absence of both the müllerian duct and the ipsilateral gonad. Possible
etiologic mechanisms as well as a discussion of the genetic aspects follows.
