Persistent Müllerian structures in a genotypic male.
A case report of a male with persistent Müllerian structures is presented. The patient was 34 yr old and had a left inguinal hernia, bilateral cryptorchidism and azoospermia. His karyotype was 46 XY. At operation a uterus with vestigial Fallopian tubes and a hypoplastic testis were found inside the hernial sac. Histological studies confirmed the persistence of Müllerian structures. The clinical implications of anti-Müllerian hormone dysfunction are discussed.
