Persistent Müllerian Duct Syndrome: Understanding the Challenges

Figure 4

Three described anatomical variants of PMDS. Key: red: Wolffian structures plus testes; green: persistent Müllerian structures; brown: bladder and urethra.

(a) Female type—bilateral intraabdominal testes in “ovarian” position

(b) Male type or “hernia uteri inguinale” type—one testis along with Müllerian remnant and Fallopian tube-like structure in the hernia sac

(c) Transverse testicular ectopia—both testes with Müllerian structures in one hemiscrotum
