Abstract
BackgroundA persistent Müllerian duct syndrome is a rare disorder of sexual differentiation characterized by the presence of the female reproductive system in a normal male.Case presentationHerein, we report a case of a 35-year-old father with persistent Müllerian duct syndrome and seminoma in the right undescended testis. The exploratory laparotomy was performed and revealed a mass in the right undescended testis and Müllerian duct structures.ConclusionsFor patients with cryptorchidism and inguinal hernia, the persistent Müllerian duct syndrome should be considered, and radiological evaluation of the genitourinary system is recommended for early diagnosis of persistent Müllerian duct syndrome. The persistent Müllerian duct syndrome is usually detected during a surgical operation, and it is considered a risk factor for developing testicular malignancies.

Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a sexual development disorder characterized by the presence of female reproductive organs in individuals with both normal chromosomes (46, XY) and a normal phenotype of a male
It could be accidentally found during orchidopexy, laparotomy, or routine inguinal hernia repair in patients presenting with cryptorchidism
Summary
For patients with cryptorchidism and inguinal hernia, the persistent Müllerian duct syndrome should be considered, and radiological evaluation of the genitourinary system is recommended for early diagnosis of persistent Müllerian duct syndrome.
