Uterine leiomyomas, often known as fibroids, are estimated to affect 77% of reproductive-aged women. Congenital uterine anomalies exist in approximately 4.3% of fertile women. Of these 4.3% of patients, uterine didelphys is present in only 8%. Given these statistics, a case with these characteristics has a 0.0026% chance of occurrence. As a result, when the patient presented with leiomyomas in both uteri, it is essential to discuss this case due to its rarity. Check out this case presentation by Dr. Viraj and share your views on the case. Follow us for more such updates!
