Artful postmortem preparation of the 60 year-old subject's urogenital tract and kidneys; descriptive of Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome, although the patient died of cirrhosis and never suffered from kidney problems. The Müllerian aplasia (Figure E. – Tubercule terminant le cordon fibreux qui représentent l'utérus) and blind vagina are beautifully modelled in the photograph. The paper concludes with a review of the literature for similar cases and a legend for the photograph.
