Abstract
- A small number of patients have been described in whom normal male development of the external genitalia has occurred but whom the Mullerian ducts persist. The retention of Mullerian structures can be ascribed to the failure of the Sertoli cells to synthesize Mullerian duct inhibitory factor or to a defect in the response of the duct to that factor. We experienced a case of persistent Mullerian duct syndrome. which is phenotypically normal male with bilateral undescended testes, bilateral fallopian tubes and a uterus. Herein we report a case with brief review of the literatures.
