Zusammenfassung: | Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome is a rare form of
pseudohermaphroditism. This article is made of two case reports showing
malignant transformation. The first case was a 36-year-old male who
presented with infertility. Unilateral inguinal mass and undescended
testis were found on physical examination. The inguinal ultrasonography
reported an inguinal mass on the same side while testicular tumor
markers were within normal range. After surgical excision, pathologic
examination revealed that the inguinal mass was uterus and intratubular
germ cell neoplasm was present in the testis tissue. The second case was
a 31-year-old male with 18 cm intraabdominal mass which was noticed
during umbilical hernia repair. Physical examination revealed bilateral
undescended testes with increased human chorionic gonadotropin
levels. Preoperative abdominal imaging revealed a uterus posteriorly
of the mass. Excision of the mass and retroperitoneal lymph node
dissection were performed after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Pathology
results revealed seminoma of the testis. |
