This case presents unique challenges due to the diverse morphologies seen in Müllerian anomalies. Therefore, accurate and timely preoperative diagnosis is essential to optimize pain management and fertility outcomes. Case Report: This case report presents the case of a 31-year-old patient with grade 4 endometriosis and a Müllerian anomaly, which resulted in the surgical treatment of the non-communication horn as well as the diseased ovary. Conclusion: This case exemplifies the challenges seen in with Müllerian anomaly-associated endometriosis, such as diagnostic delay and intricacy of surgical treatment options.
