OBJECTIVE: To present a case of unicornuate uterus with ipsilateral ectopic ovary and renal agenesis. DESIGN: Case report. SETTING: Research hospital. PATIENT(S): A 26-year-old woman with a 5-year history of primary infertility was admitted to our clinic. A unicornuate uterus without contralateral horn, with ipsilateral ectopic ovary and renal agenesis, was diagnosed. INTERVENTION(S): Diagnostic laparoscopy, ovarian stimulation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): During laparoscopy, a unicornuate uterus without a contralateral horn, together with ectopic ovary, was observed. RESULT(S): We visualized the right ectopic ovary on ultrasound after ovarian stimulation. CONCLUSION(S): We present a rare clinical entity that exhibits a unicornuate uterus without a contralateral horn, with ipsilateral right ectopic ovary and renal agenesis together. We conclude that ovarian stimulation is a useful approach in the diagnosis of ectopic ovaries.
