Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS) is a rare disorder of defective sexual development in males. It is characterized by aberrant synthesis or inadequate action of Mullerian inhibiting factor resulting in derivatives of Mullerian duct, i.e. uterus, fallopian tube and upper vagina, to persist in a phenotypic male with 46XY karyotype. Here, we report a 19-year-old male with bilateral undescended testes. Further evaluation revealed that the patient had both his testes placed intra-abdominally along with a rudimentary uterus.
持续性苗勒管综合征(PMDS)是一种男性性发育缺陷的罕见疾病。其特征是苗勒管抑制因子合成异常或作用不足,导致苗勒管衍生物,即子宫、输卵管和阴道上段,在核型为46XY的表型男性中持续存在。在此,我们报告一名19岁双侧隐睾男性。进一步评估发现,该患者的双侧睾丸位于腹腔内,同时伴有一个残遗子宫。
