To the Editor

I read an interesting case report titled ‘‘adenomyosis of uterus with adenomyoma of fallopian tube’’ by Ganitha et al that appears in the recent issue of your journal. While reading this, I was pondering that it is adenomyoma in rudimentary horn of uterus instead of adenomyoma of fallopian tube. It may be due to wrong interpretation by pathologist as sample sent might be labeled as uterus with fallopian tube and rudimentary horn may not be mentioned.

Although the development of leiomyomas from uterine remnant is a rare finding, it is still possible and it should be considered in the list of differential diagnosis of pelvic masses with mullerian dysgenesis [1].
