Hernia uterus inguinale, a condition in which endometrium and myometrium are found in an ectopic location in the inguinal canal, is a rare congenital abnormality in women. A woman with a normal number of chromosomes (46,XX) demonstrated the presence of a uterus, fallopian tube, and ovary in an inguinal hernia associated with a unicornuate uterus. This represents a unique abnormality in the spectrum of lateral fusion defects associated with müllerian ductal development, which normally proceeds as the right and left systems fuse and form the uterus, cervix, and four fifths of the vagina. In this patient, the left müllerian system apparently failed to fuse with the right, instead assuming a location within the patient's inguinal canal.
腹股沟子宫疝是一种在女性中罕见的先天性异常疾病，其特征是在腹股沟管的异位位置发现子宫内膜和肌层。一名染色体数目正常（46,XX）的女性在与单角子宫相关的腹股沟疝中发现了子宫、输卵管和卵巢。这代表了与苗勒管发育相关的侧方融合缺陷谱中的一种独特异常，正常情况下，左右苗勒管系统融合形成子宫、宫颈和五分之四的阴道。在该患者中，左侧苗勒管系统显然未能与右侧融合，而是位于患者的腹股沟管内。
