Introduction: Uterine didelphys is an exceptionally rare Müllerian duct anomaly that, when incidentally discovered, can be profoundly disconcerting for attending clinicians, patients, and their families. In this case report, we described an instance of undiagnosed uterine didelphys in a pregnant woman who was admitted at 39 weeks and 4 days of amenorrhea for her third delivery, wherein the condition was coincidentally identified during an elective cesarean section, resulting in a favorable fetal outcome.Case Presentation: We presented the case of a 32-year-old gravida 4 para 3+0 patient who was admitted at 39 weeks and 4 days of amenorrhea and had a history of three prior cesarean deliveries. She underwent an elective cesarean section. A second nongravid uterus with an ipsilateral fallopian tube and ovary was incidentally observed intraoperatively. Furthermore, a contralateral fallopian tube without an ovary was noted within the same uterus. Subsequent exploration revealed that each uterus had one fallopian tube and ovary, and both uteri shared a single cervix.Conclusion: Vigilant preoperative assessment of all women scheduled for surgery is imperative to prevent such disconcerting, avoidable occurrences.

Introduction:Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich Syndrome (HWWs) is a rare variant of Mullerian duct anomalies. It is associated with a wide range of gynecological and obstetric complications, such as urinary incontinence, urinary retention, endometriosis, pelvic infection, pelvic pain and infertility. Case presentation: We conducted the present study to investigate and manage HWWs with pelvic pain. The surgery was performed on the operative room of Imam Reza Hospital in April 2018. Conclusion: The reported case is related to Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich Syndrome, a rare congenital Mullerian duct anomaly, which it is not included in the current classification system of the Mullerian abnormalities of the American Fertility Association and is based on the typical pattern of caudal evolution towards cranial.

Background: Uterus cancer is one of the main causes of death in the female population, which mostly occurs in low- or middle-income countries. Up to now, many descriptive studies have been conducted on the prevalence of uterus cancer in Iran and its relationship with various factors. Thus, the present study aimed to summarize the data relevant to the incidence of uterus cancer in Iran.
Methods: All the published reports on the incidence of uterus cancer in Iran were gathered through exploration of international journals. Accordingly, population-based articles and those that defined the topic clearly and reported age-specific rate (ASR) were included in the study. In order to extract the required information, all the articles were studied carefully and some were entered in the report.
Results: Out of the 130 articles, three were selected through careful screening for the final report. These studies were performed on 1086, 8359 and 652 cases and reported ASRs of 0.01, 0.027, and 0.026 in 1000 individuals, respectively.
Discussion: In this study, the incidence of uterus cancer and its geographical diversity in Iran was systematically taken into consideration for the first time. A total of 19875 individuals were studied in three selected articles. The results indicated that the incidence of this cancer followed an ascending trend.
