Inguinal hernia in male is a common problem but having female reproductive organs in hernial sac is rare. It occur because of failure of mullerian duct to regress in a male fetus during embryonic development, result in a syndrome known as Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS), which is a rare entity of male pseudohermaphroditism. We hereby present a case of 21-year-old male patient reported with complains of cryptorchidism and inguinal hernia. Generally diagnosis of PMDS was established during investigation like ultrasonography, MRI for localization of undescended testis and during surgical exploration for inguinal hernia or cryptorchidism. Our patient was operated by bilateral inguinal incision; hernial sac contained adult size uterus fallopian tube and upper 2/3(rd) of vagina. On karyotyping it was found that he was a case of klinefelter syndrome also. Association of PMDS with klinefelter syndrome is very rare.
男性腹股沟疝是一个常见问题,但疝囊内含有女性生殖器官的情况却很罕见。它是由于男性胎儿在胚胎发育过程中苗勒管退化失败所致,导致一种称为持续性苗勒管综合征(PMDS)的综合征,这是男性假两性畸形的一种罕见情况。我们在此报告一例21岁男性患者,主诉为隐睾症和腹股沟疝。一般来说,PMDS的诊断是在超声、MRI等检查中确定隐睾位置时,以及在腹股沟疝或隐睾症的手术探查过程中建立的。我们的患者接受了双侧腹股沟切口手术;疝囊内包含成年大小的子宫、输卵管和阴道上2/3。染色体核型分析发现他也是克氏综合征患者。PMDS与克氏综合征的关联非常罕见。
