Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome(PMDS) is characterized by the presence of müllerian duct structures such as fallopian tubes, uterus and 1/3 upper part of vagina in the phenotypic male. It is a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism. This syndrome is rarely associated with transverse testicular ectopia(TTE). PMDS and TTE is extremely rare. Patients are normally virilised, although uni- or bilateral cryptorchidism may be present. In this paper we report a PMDS associated with TTE and hypospadias in 5 years old boy.

Abstract
Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome(PMDS) is characterized by the presence of müllerian duct structures such as fallopian tubes, uterus and 1/3 upper part of vagina in the phenotypic male. It is a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism. This syndrome is rarely associated with transverse testicular ectopia(TTE). PMDS and TTE is extremely rare. Patients are normally virilised, although uni- or bilateral cryptorchidism may be present. In this paper we report a PMDS associated with TTE and hypospadias in 5 years old boy.
