Description
Ons Krimi and co-authors report a 2026 case of persistent Müllerian duct syndrome, a rare condition where a man keeps structures that usually vanish before birth. The patient was a 29-year-old man who arrived with a large abdominal and pelvic mass. Biopsy pointed to a testicular tumor type called seminoma.
After chemotherapy, surgery revealed a uterus with a right-sided attachment inside the abdomen. The condition stems from faults in a hormone or its receptor that normally clears these structures in male development. The authors stress that early recognition protects fertility and lowers the risk of testicular degeneration. Discovery often happens by chance during surgery for undescended testes. This case adds therapeutic lessons for a rarely seen syndrome.
