Persistent mullerian duct syndrome--a case report.

Persistent mullerian duct syndrome presents in phenotypically male subjects with unilateral cryptorchidism, inguinal herniation, and persistent mullerian remnants. Pre-operative diagnosis of this condition is difficult. Orchidopexy with excision of the persistent mullerian duct structures is usually not possible without making damage to the vas. The alternative of leaving the persistent mullerian duct structures alone and performing a staged or primary orchidopexy has been suggested. A similar case, encountered in the department of surgery, Bankura Sammilani Medical College and Hospital is being reported.
