Abstract
A patient with a mass lesion of Müllerian origin associated with a spinal dysraphism is reported. The mass lesion was a genuine uterine formation, and a hemorrhage arose from a functional endometrium. A spinal dysraphism was associated, including a low-lying conus medullaris, a subcutaneous lipoma, and a sinus between the cul-de-sac and the lipoma. This ectopic and mature tissue may be differentiated from teratoma and endometriosis.
