RESUMEN
A twenty-eight year old phenotypically and genotypically normal male adult was admitted with a right inguinal hernia, a right retractile testis and left cryptorchidism. During surgery, he was found to have a uterus in the right spermatic cord and a left undescended testis (intra abdominal type). The uterus was excised, left orchidectomy, right orchidoplexy and right herniorrhaphy were performed. This rare case is reported as persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS) which is caused by impaired action of Mullerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS) in regressing the Mullerian duct.

An upper urinary tract tumor following the initial diagnosis of bladder carcinoma is rare. We report 3 patients with bladder carcinoma who later developed upper urinary tract tumors. Ureteral tumor was diagnosed by ureterorenoscope in the first 2 patients, while in the third case, urothelial tumor involving the entire left upper tract was found at the time of planned operation for cystectomy. The etiology, risk factors, and investigation plans were reviewed, in order to make an early detection of tumors.
