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

An eighteen month old phenotypically and genotypically normal male child was admitted with a left inguinal hernia and a right undescended testis. At operation, he was found to have a uterus, bilateral fallopian tubes, and a vagina in the left hernial sac. Bilateral orchidopexies and excision of the persistent Mullerian duct structures were carried out. This rare case of persistent Mullerian duc...

Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS) is characteristically associated with unilateral or bilateral cryptoorchidism. Like other undescended testis, these gonads are at an increased risk of malignant transformation. We report a case of intra abdominal seminoma in cryptorchid testis of a patient with the Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome, hitherto uncommonly reported in India.

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 ...

Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS), a form of male pseudohermaphroditism, is rare. This is a case report of 40-years-old, an otherwise normal male, presenting with Mullerian duct derivatives and transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) in the sac of irreducible recurrent inguinal hernia.

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...

Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS), a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism. It is characterized by the persistence of Mullerian duct structures (uterus, fallopian tubes and upper two-thirds of vagina) in otherwise normally virilized males (Karyotype 46XY). The exact cause of PMDS is not known, however it is thought to result from the defect of the synthesis or release of Mullerian inh...
