Abstract

1. 1. The diagnosis of some abnormality of the internal generative organs was aided by uterosalpingography. 2. 2. Exploratory laparotomy revealed the presence of a double uterus (uterus didelphys), ovarian cyst, and endometriosis of the pelvic peritoneum. 3. 3. Extirpation of the rudimentary uterus, ovarian cyst, appendix, and peritoneal endometrial implants was performed. 4. 4. The transtubal implantation theory of endometriosis (Sampson) might seem tenable in this case. 5. 5. There has been no dysmenorrhea in the three menstrual periods which have occurred since operation.
