Abstract

This case report describes a man in his 20s presenting with bilateral crypto-orchidism, micropenis and underdeveloped secondary sexual characteristics. The patient also exhibited hyposmia, eunuchoid stature and gynecomastia. Biochemical investigations revealed low levels of testosterone, luteinising hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Hence, he was diagnosed with Kallmann syndrome. Imaging studies showed an absent right kidney and cystic dilatation of the distal ureteric bud, seminal vesicle and absent/hypoplastic ejaculatory duct. The association of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with Zinner syndrome, a rare condition characterised by renal agenesis, seminal vesicle cyst and ejaculatory duct obstruction, was noted.
