Mullerian anomalies which cause infertility in women were described by different classification systems. We report a rare case of uterine anomaly in a 16-year-old patient presented with primary amenorrhea. Her diagnostic laparoscopy findings revealed two uterine rudimentary horns on either side of the upper pelvis with a hypoplastic noncavitated central uterus. The pathogenesis of this anomaly may not be clearly defined but it was stated that these occur due to the developmental defects in embryo. This case report is one of the rarest cases presented and may signify the Mullerian duct anomaly.
