Persistent mullerian duct syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of uterus and fallopian tube in 46XY phenotypic males and is ascribed to defects in the synthesis or action of anti-mullerian hormone. We report a rare case of hernia uterine inguinale, transverse testicular ectopia associated with mixed germ cell tumor of the testis with metastasis. Transverse testicular ectopia should be suspected preoperatively in patients who have unilateral inguinal hernia associated with contralateral nonpalpable testis. In such cases ultrasonography should be done prior to repair of hernia to evaluate the possible presence of mullerian structures and testicular malignancy, for better management.
持续性苗勒管综合征是一种罕见的疾病,其特征为46XY表型男性体内存在子宫和输卵管,病因是抗苗勒管激素合成或作用缺陷。我们报告了一例罕见的腹股沟子宫疝、睾丸横位异位合并睾丸混合性生殖细胞肿瘤伴转移的病例。对于患有单侧腹股沟疝且对侧睾丸无法触及的患者,术前应怀疑有睾丸横位异位。在此类病例中,应在疝修补术前进行超声检查,以评估是否可能存在苗勒管结构及睾丸恶性肿瘤,以便进行更好的治疗。
