The epoophoron , also called "organ of Rosenmüller", is a remnant of the Wolffian duct that can be found next to the ovary and fallopian tube. It may contain 10-15 transverse small ducts or tubules that lead to the Gartner’s duct (also longitudinal duct of epoophoron) that represents the caudal remnant of the Wolffian duct and passes through the broad ligament and the lateral wall of the cervix and vagina. The epoophoron is a homologue to the epididymis in the male. Remnant – the lineup includes Matt Gill (lead vocals, guitar), Angela Ausumus Gil (vocals), Hilary Malone (vocals), Jon Demma (trumpet), Jason Spoolstra (saxophone), Noah Galaviz (lead guitar, vocals), Greg Stone (bass guitar, vocals, trombone), Leonard Ehalt (electric guitar, vocals), Lucas Wynn (acoustic guitar), Matt Kalina (acoustic guitar, vocals), and Justin Portillo... The Wolffian duct (also known as archinephric duct, Leydigs duct, and the mesonephric duct) is an paired organ found in mammals including humans during embryogenesis. ... Human female internal reproductive anatomy Ovaries are egg-producing reproductive organs found in female organisms. ... Female internal reproductive anatomy The Fallopian tubes or oviducts are two very fine tubes leading from the ovaries of female mammals into the uterus. ... The term homologue or homolog has several meanings: In biology, homologues are structures that are alike because of shared ancestry. ... Male Anatomy The epididymis is part of the human male reproductive system and is present in all male mammals. ...

While the epoophoron is located in the lateral portion of the mesosalpinx and mesovarium, the paroophoron ( residual remnant of that part of the Wolfian duct that forms the paradidymis in the male) lies more medially in the mesosalpinx .

Clinically the organ may give rise to a local paraovarian cyst or adenoma.
