Persistent müllerian duct syndrome. A report of two cases.
Two cases of persistence of Müllerian duct structures in phenotypic male patients are reported. One of these was aged 16 years and the other 10 months. Both patients had cryptorchidism and inguinal hernia for which they were operated upon. In both patients parts of uterus and fallopian tubes were identified in the hernial sac. Endocrine evaluation was normal. Karyotyping was performed in the second case which revealed a normal male genotype of 46 XY.
