[Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome: a report of 2 cases and review of the literature].

OBJECTIVE

To study the etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and management of persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS).

METHODS

Two cases of PMDS were reported, one accompanied by transverse testicular ectopia and the other associated with cryptorchidism. Corporeal hysterectomy and orchidopexy were given to both the patients and cryptorchidectory the latter.

RESULTS

Vascular supply and texture of the testis were normal in both the 2 patients after 1.5-2 years' follow-up.

CONCLUSION

PMDS is male pseudohermaphroditism, for which means should be taken to preserve the blood supply and fertility function of the testis in surgical management, and attention should be paid to possible development of testis tumor in follow-up.
