We report a case of congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 17 alpha-hydroxylase deficiency in a Chinese genotypic male patient. Despite the male genotype, normal female external genitalia were present and with the introduction of cyclical oestrogen therapy withdrawal bleeding occurred, confirming the presence of functional endometrial tissue. We believe this to be the first report of persistent ...

Gastrointestinal endometriosis-associated malignancies are rare and diagnostically challenging. Mullerian endometrioid adenocarcinoma is the most common and likely to be confused with a primary colonic adenocarcinoma due to their overlapping histological features. We present a case of mullerian endometrioid adenocarcinoma arising from colonic endometriosis in a 61year-old woman who presented wi...

Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome is a rare form of internal male pseudohermaphroditism, in which Mullerian duct derivatives (uterus and fallopian tubes) are present in a genotypic (46XY) and phenotypic male. Over 150 cases have been reported, mainly from outside the African setting. This article presents an unexpected case encountered in an African setting. Handicaps in the management were un...

In the case reported, diagnosed with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome, the presence of normal ovaries proved to be challenging to confirm due to unusual high positioned (ectopic) ovaries. MRKH syndrome is a rare pathological condition characterized by a spectrum of the Mullerian duct abnormalities resulting in congenital aplasia of the uterus and of the upper part (2/3) of the vag...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the change in the levels of anti-Mullerian hormone, adiponectin, weight loss and fertility parameters in obese women with or without polycystic ovary syndrome, following 12 weeks of supervised aerobic exercise. METHODS This study was conducted from August 2013 to October 2014 among obese women with or without polycystic ovary syndrome referred to Obstetrics and Gynecolog...

Adenofibroma is an extremely rare benign biphasic neoplasm that is classified into the mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor group. These tumors tend to occur in postmenopausal and elderly women. We report the case of a large polypoidal mass per vagina occupying the whole pelvis in a young woman. Preoperative biopsy showed benign epithelial and mullerian mesenchymal components suggestive of mu...

Abstract Background Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare congenital anomaly in which both the testis are same hemiscrotum or one inguinal canal of side. It usually associated with other anomalies such as hernia, persistent Mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS), true hermaphroditism, and pseudo-hermaphroditism. In this case report, we present TTE an adult patient fused vas deferens, aplastic r...

background: congenital uterine malformations are the result of disturbances in mullerian duct development. in patients with recurrent miscarriage, the reported frequency of uterine anomalies varies widely, from 1.8% to 37.6%. there are reports in which cervical cerclage has been shown to prevent preterm labor in uterine anomalies. the aim of this study was to compare the role of cervical cercla...
