Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by persistent Mullerian derivative in patients with 46 XY Karyotype and normal virilization .Here we are presenting a case of incidental finding of Persistent Mullerian Duct Remnants in a 58 yr old man during routine hernioplasty.Histological diagnosis was confirmed by Immunohistochemistry

The aim of this study is to present a rare case of Müllerian adenosarcoma of the cervix with ovarian metastasis and sarcomatous overgrowth. A gravida 2, para 2 woman aged 32 years with vaginal bleeding was admitted to the gynecology department. A 3-4 cm polypoid mass protruding from the cervix was detected in a pelvic examination. Total abdominal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingoopherectomy w...

First described in 2005, the Mullerian derived cyst in the mediastinum is a rare finding with few subsequent reports. We report a case of Mullerian cyst occurring in the mediastinum of a 49-year-old female that was resected by robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first report of robot-assisted resection of Hattori's cyst. Histopathologic analysis revealed ciliated...

Vaginal development has been a longstanding controversy, which hampers studies on vaginal diseases as well as cervical and uterine diseases. Most concerns center on: why is the vaginal epithelium different from the uterine epithelium; and where does the vagina originate from? It is commonly held that the rodent vagina has a dual origin: the cranial part is derived from the Mullerian duct (Mulle...

•DICER1 mutations play a significant role in gynecologic malignancy.•DICER1 may be involved in the sarcomagenesis of endometrial adenosarcoma.•The knowledge of a genetic mutation can help clarify a patient's medical history.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the diagnostic accuracy of Anti-Mullerian hormone with follicle stimulating hormone for ovarian reserve assessment in infertile women by Receiver Operator Characteristic curve analysis. STUDY DESIGN: A Cross Sectional study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: At Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Health Sciences in collaboration with nd th Gynecology and Obstetri...

Adenosarcoma is a rare tumor which consists of benign glandular epithelium and malignant mesenchymal component. Here we report a case of adenosarcoma of the uterine corpus. Case Presentation. A 59-year-old woman presented with vaginal bleeding and visited a local clinic. She had a uterine tumor pointed out and was referred to our hospital. Ultrasound scans revealed a large heterogeneous mass oc...

The uterus is formed during embryogenesis by the fusion of the two paramesonephric ducts (also called mullerian ducts). This process usually fuses the two mullerian ducts into a single uterine body. Incomplete fusion of the mullerian ducts results in uterine malformation like uterus didelphus, uterus bicornis bicollis, uterus bicornis unicollis, uterus subseptate, uterus arcuate, and uterus uni...

Received January 2008 Accepted October 2008 INTRODUCTION Persistent mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS), or hernia uteri inguinale, describes a group of patients with a 46,XY karyotype and normal male external genitalia, but internal mullerian duct structures. Typically, these phenotypic males have unilateral or bilateral undescended testes, bilateral fallopian tubes, a uterus, and an upper vaginal ...

Previous studies using cDNA microarray have indicated that distinct gene expression profiles characterize endometrioid and papillary serous carcinomas of the endometrium. Molecular studies have observed that mixed mullerian tumors, characterized by both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components, share features that are characteristic of endometrial carcinomas. The objective of this analysis was ...
