The Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH), defined as congenital hypoplasia of the structures derived from the müllerian ducts, occurs in female patients, usually with proper development and karyotype 46XX, with an incidence of 1/5,000, and is the second cause of consultation by secondary amenorrhea. It is classically divided into type I, or isolated, and type II, associated with other malformations. There have been described isolated cases of MRKH associated with the presence of adnexal tumors.
