The communicating rudimentary horn of the unicornuate uterus as a rare localization of a partial hydatidiform mole and the diagnostic challenge

Background& aims: A unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn, with an incidence of 0.06%, is the consequence of an anomaly during the development of Mullerian ducts. This carries significant pregnancy risks, especially when implantation occurs in the rudimentary horn. A pregnancy complication characterized by an abnormal growth of trophoblasts, such as molar pregnancy is rare at this location. This case-based article aims to emphasize the rarity and the methods of diagnosis of a unicornuate uterus and a hydatidiform mole.
