Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome is an intersex disorder which occurs due to the failure of regression of Müllerian structures in genotypical and phenotypical males. It is a rare disorder of male internal pseudohermaphroditism with normal secondary sexual characters and XY karyotype. We report a male patient with the diagnosis of bilateral inguinoscrotal hernia with cryptorchidism scheduled for laparoscopic bilateral transabdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) mesh repair with bilateral orchidopexy. Intra-operatively, there was a rudimentary uterus with tubes on both sides. Bilateral testicular biopsy was taken to confirm the presence of testicular tissue and to exclude malignancy and ovarian tissue. Hernia surgery was deferred in the first stage. After 2 weeks, he underwent laparoscopic bilateral orchidopexy with TAPP mesh repair. At 6-year follow-up, there is no recurrence of hernia or features of malignancy in the retained testis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
