Persistent Müllerian syndrome, a rare condition, involves male individuals with uterus and fallopian tubes. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing this condition and associated risks.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Persistent Müllerian syndrome (PMS) is a rare disorder of sexual development.
  • It affects individuals with XY chromosomes who possess both Müllerian and Wolffian duct derivatives.
  • This case highlights PMS in a phenotypically normal male with specific anatomical findings.

Observation:

  • A phenotypically normal male infant presented with bilateral cryptorchidism and an inguinal hernia, diagnosed neonatally.
  • Intraoperative findings during hernia repair revealed persistent Müllerian structures, including a bicornuate uterus, fallopian tubes, and upper vagina.

Findings:

  • Surgical management involved laparotomy for removal of Müllerian structures and bilateral orchiopexy at 18 months of age.
  • A small segment of the vagina was intentionally retained to protect the closely associated vas deferens.

  • Post-operative testicular biopsy showed normal histology but poor response to human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management in Persistent Müllerian Syndrome.
    • Long-term surveillance is crucial due to the significantly increased risk of testicular tumor development in patients with PMS.
    • Understanding the anatomical variations and potential complications is vital for optimizing surgical outcomes and patient follow-up.
