Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS) is a rare form of internal male pseudohermaphroditism, characterised by presence of Mullerian duct derivatives in a genotypic and phenotypic male. It is caused by absence of anti- Mullerian hormone or defective functioning of its receptors. We report a case of 19-year-old cryptorchid male with history of orchideopexy who was clinically and radiologically diagnosed as left sided chylocele. A definitive diagnosis of PMDS with ovarian endometriosis was made on histopathological examination which is important for genetic counselling and to reduce complications like infertility and neoplastic transformation. We report this case of PMDS with ovary showing evidence of endometriosis for its rarity.

Müllerian (paramesonephric) duct anomalies (MDA) are a rare condition, occurring in 5.5% of female newborns. One of the most complex malformations is represented by Obstructed Hemivagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomalies (OHVIRA) syndrome, also known as Herlyn -Werner-Wunderlich (HWW) syndrome.

Background: Endometrial proliferative lesions (EPLs) encompass endometrial hyperplasia (EH) and endometrial carcinoma (EC). Atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) is associated with an elevated risk of progression to EC. Patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) exhibit higher serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and a correspondingly increased incidence of EPLs.

Background: A didelphic uterus represents a unique and infrequent congenital condition in which a woman possesses two distinct uteri, each with its own cervix. This anomaly arises due to partial or incomplete merging of the Müllerian ducts during the developmental stages in the womb. Accounting for uterine malformations, a didelphic uterus is a relatively rare condition, affecting approximately 0.

A defect in the fusion of Müllerian ducts results in the uterine malformation of the bicornuate uterus. The bicornuate uterus is an uncommon condition, and it is associated with adverse early pregnancy and antenatal events, such as recurrent miscarriages, preterm labor, and delivery. The bicornuate uterus has two symmetric uterine cavities that are fused caudally and have some degree of communication between the two cavities, usually at the uterine isthmus.

Background: The longitudinal vaginal septum and oblique vaginal septum are female müllerian duct anomalies that are relatively less diagnosed but severely fertility-threatening in clinical practice. Ultrasound imaging is commonly used to examine the two vaginal malformations, but in fact it's difficult to make an accurate differential diagnosis. This study is intended to assess the performance of multiple deep learning models based on ultrasonographic images for distinguishing longitudinal vaginal septum and oblique vaginal septum.
