摘要

The MURCS association which stands for Mullerian, Renal, Cervicothoracic Somite Abnormalities is a rare developmental anomaly seen in females. The clinical course of this disorder is not clearly defined as of yet-which may range from asymptomatic to severe disability. Here we present the case of a young 22-year-old female who was incidentally detected to have a generalized increase in bone density with an absent uterus. Further workup revealed a case of MURCS association with renal osteodystrophy. This is an as of yet unreported complication/association and must be kept in mind in the treatment of these patients.
