| Summary: | Embryologically mullerian duct derivatives lead to formation of female genitalia and wolffian duct derivatives to male genitalia.
Presence of mullerian duct derivatives in a chromosomally normal male (XY) leads to male pseudohermaphroditism and is referred
to as Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS). A young male patient with bilateral cryptorchidism presented to our hospital who
was subsequently imaged. There are many case reports of persistent mullerian duct syndrome but they focus mainly on surgical
aspects. In this article, MRI features of persistent müllerian duct syndrome are presented. |
