Abstract

Background: Accessory cavitated uterine malformations, or mass (ACUM) is a Mullerian anomaly which increasingly recognized as a cause of severe dysmenorrhoea and pelvic pain.
Objective: To know what ACUMs are and recognize their clinical presentation, able to diagnose an ACUM using ultrasound or MRI; and counsel patients with ACUMs on the different management options, including conservative, medical, and surgery.
Conclusion and Wider Implication: ACUMs are less rare than previously believed; hence ACUM diagnosis is essential in clinically suspicious cases via ultrasound and MRI, and intra-operative assessment of uterine morphology and laparoscopic surgical excision is the definitive treatment for ACUM.
