Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism (MPH) which characterized by the presence of uterus, fallopian tubes and upper part of vagina in an otherwise normally differentiated 46, XY male. The syndrome is caused by either an insufficient amount of antimüllerian hormone AMH or by insensitivity of the target organ to this factor, It is usually discovered in patient who assessed for infertility, cryptorchidism or during intra-abdominal surgery. Herein We report a rare presentation case of PMDS with intra-abdominal mass which came to be seminoma.

: Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare disorder of sex development (DSD) caused by mutations in the genes coding anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) or the AMH receptor, characterized by the persistence of Müllerian derivatives, the uterus and/or fallopian tubes, in otherwise normally virilized boys. Testicular regression syndrome is common in PMDS, yet the association with supernumerary testis has been reported in only two patients where genetic testing was not performed. : Thus, we report an individual with this particular association caused by a previously unreported homozygous variant in the gene to enable future genotype-phenotype correlations in this rare disorder.

An uncommon congenital abnormality known as crossed testicular ectopia (CTE) or transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) occurs when both testes migrate into the same hemiscrotum. Inguinal hernia and persistent Müllerian duct syndrome are frequently associated with it. We present a case of "TTE" in a 1-year-old boy with an empty right hemiscrotum and left inguinal hernia.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate if retroverted (RV) uterus noted on nuchal translucency (NT) ultrasound is associated with second-trimester pregnancy loss and other adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Study Design: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients with RV uterus documented on NT ultrasound at a single academic medical center from October 2019 to March 2023. Subjects were identified using a query for "retroverted" uterine position within an obstetric ultrasound imaging program.

Objective: The objective of this video is to review a case of a patient that presented to urogynecology clinic for prolapse but was noted to have anterior vaginal cyst. In this video, we review differential diagnosis, embryologic origin of vaginal cyst, excision procedure, imaging, and pathology of the vaginal cyst.
Setting: Urogynecology clinic/operating room PARTICIPANT: Patient who presented with anterior vaginal cyst INTERVENTION: Thirty-four-year-old G0 referred to Urogynecology for a vaginal bulge.

Introduction And Importance: Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome is an exceptional genetic condition that occurs secondary to mutations in AMH and AMHR-II. The individuals with this condition exhibit well-developed secondary sexual characteristics despite having a uterus and fallopian tubes. The case mentioned here was worth reporting due to the scarcity of prevalence of PMDS.
