The female internal sex organs develop from the paramesonephric (Mullerian) duct. In male embryos, the regression of the Mullerian duct is caused by the anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), which plays an important role in the process of testicular descent. The physiological remnant of the Mullerian duct in males is the appendix testis (AT). In our previous study, we presented evidence for the decreas...

Mullerian adenosarcoma is a rare tumor that usually arises in the uterus. Occasional cases arising in endometrial implants have been reported. We report the computed tomography (CT) findings of histologically proven mullerian adenosarcoma arising in perirectal endometriosis in a 46-year-old woman.

Symptomatic Mullerian duct cyst is a rare entity in children. A 9-month-old male infant presented with bowel and urinary obstructive symptoms. Imaging investigations revealed a cystic mass in the rectovesical pouch compressing bladder neck and rectum. At laparotomy, a Mullerian duct cyst was found. Most of the cyst was excised and the remaining cyst mucosa was cauterized. The child improved the...

OEIS is a malformative complex that associates an omphalocele, an exstrophy of the cloaca, an anal imperforation and spinal defects. Normal development of the cloaca gives origin to the lower abdominal wall with bladder, intestine and anus, genitals organ and part of the pelvis bones and lumbosacral spine. Incidence of OEIS is rare, thought to occur in 1 in 200,000 to 1 in 250,000 live births. ...

Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS) is characteristically associated with unilateral or bilateral cryptoorchidism. Like other undescended testis, these gonads are at an increased risk of malignant transformation. We report a case of intra abdominal seminoma in cryptorchid testis of a patient with the Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome, hitherto uncommonly reported in India.

Amenorrhea is the absence of menstrual blood flow. Primary amenorrhea should be considered in a patient with secondary sex characteristics who has not experienced periodic menstruation by 16 years age or 5 after breast development. Patients have developed characteristics, especially development, and established 13 also worked up for primary amenorrhea1. Turner’s syndrome (TS) called as Ullrich ...

The Mayer–Rokitansky–Kuster–Hauser (MRKH) syndrome affects 1 out of 4,500 women [1]. It is a malformation of the female genitals due to interrupted embryonic development of the mullerian (paramesonephric) ducts in otherwise chromosomally, phenotypically, and endocrinologically normal female. It is second to Turner’s syndrome as a cause of primary amenorrhea and was described by Mayer (1829), Ro...

A mediastinal Mullerian cyst was initially reported as a new category of congenital cyst by Hattori, et al. in 2005. We treated a 53-year-old female referred to us with a posterior mediastinal tumor found at the Th5 prevertebral level by chest-computed tomography during a medical check-up. She had a history of mediastinal teratoma, which was removed at the age of 35. Chest magnetic resonance im...
