congenital absence of the uterus (or unicornuate or bicornuate) and upper 2/3 vagina with normal ovaries and fallopian tubes
Mayer-Rokitanksy-Kuster-Hauser syndrome (Mullerian agenesis). has 3 features: 1`) vaginal atresia. 2) absent or rudimentary uterus and 3) normal ovaries
pt with a unicornuate uterus has what % chance of renal anomalies
40% will have renal issues. Usually ipsilateral to the rudimentary horn
who has more infertility issues: patients with a septate uterus or a patient with a bicornuate uterus
the septate uterus will have more infertility issues

T2 bright fibroid
myoxoid
risk of malignant transformation of a leiomyoma
0.1%. Super duper low. The typical history will be rapidly enlarging
thickening of the junctional zone >12 mm
adenomyosis
adenomyosis junctional zone thickness
>12 mm
endometrium < 5 mm in a postmenopausal woman
atrophy

might be cancer. get a biopsy.
HNPCC increased risk of endometrial cancer
30-50x increased risk of endometrial cancer
30-50x increased risk of endometrial cancer

abnormal endometrial thickness on Tamoxifen
Tamoxifen endometrium gets a pass up to 8mm. At >8mm it gets a biopsy
