Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome Presenting in an Incarcerated Recurrent Inguinal Hernia with Hydrocele

چکیده
Hernia uteri inguinalis (HUI) is one of the rarest causes of male pseudo-hermaphroditism worldwide. We report the case of a 49-year-old male with discovery of this anomaly during inguinal hernia repair. A 49-year-old man presented to the clinic for recurrent inguinal hernia with enlarging left scrotum consistent with hydrocele on imaging. Upon exploration of the left groin, the left testis was pulled up into the abdomen, revealing a uterus, fallopian tube, and a second atrophic testis. Despite the rarity of HUI, the differential diagnosis for inguinal hernia with associated cryptorchidism and/or hydrocele should include this rare form of pseudohermaphroditism.

INTRODUCTION Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare type of pseudohermaphroditism in genotypically and phenotypically males. They have a uterus, fallopian tubes, and upper part of the vagina; but Mullerian duct fails to regress. In transverse testicular ectopia (TTE), one of the testis moves to the opposite side and both testes pass the same inguinal canal. We report a case of PMDS...
