Surgical resection therapy of a rare presentation of persistent Mullerian duct syndrome: a case review

Abstract

Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS) is an extremely rare disease with less than 300 cases recorded in medical literature. Our patient was a 37 year old male who presented at the medical office with hematospermia as his sole complaint. He had previously undergone left orchidopexy and presented with hypotrophic left testicle and right testicle agenesis. PMDS differential was considered with the clear observation of a uterus-like structure during pelvic ultrasonography. The organs were later studied in magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed by post-surgery anatomopathological examination. Patient was discharged 24 h after surgery and developed azoospermia post-surgery.
