Data from DOW University of Health Sciences Provide New Insights into Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome Diagnosed Incidentally: a Case Report).

A recent study conducted by researchers at the DOW University of Health Sciences in Karachi, Pakistan, has provided new insights into Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS), a rare male disorder of sexual development. PMDS is characterized by the presence of female internal organs in phenotypically and genotypically male individuals due to a deficiency of anti-mullerian hormone or insensitivity of tissues to this hormone. The study presented a case report of a 19-year-old male who was diagnosed with bilateral cryptorchidism and a rudimentary uterus. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgery to remove the rudimentary uterus after a trial of stepwise orchidopexy followed by orchidectomy. This research has been peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association. [Extracted from the article]
