Context:

A ten-year-old male patient presented with a history of left inguinal hernia repair at age four.
Confirmed male gender through sex chromatin, Y corpuscle, and male genotype chromosomal studies.
Normal testosterone levels confirmed testicular function before and after human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation.

Purpose:

To diagnose and understand the etiology of a rare congenital anomaly in a pediatric patient.
Investigate the coexistence of male reproductive structures with Müllerian remnants.

Summary:

Surgical exploration revealed two structurally normal testes and vas deferens alongside a rudimentary uterus and Fallopian tubes.
The condition was diagnosed as uterus-inguinalis hernia.

Potential causes include deficiencies in Müllerian inhibiting factor secretion, activity, or receptor function.

Impact:

Highlights the importance of thorough investigation in pediatric patients with ambiguous genitalia or complex hernias.
Contributes to understanding rare disorders of sexual development and Müllerian duct persistence.
Provides insights into the complex hormonal and genetic factors influencing sexual differentiation.
