Özet

Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS) with transverse testicular ectopia (TTS) is a very rare pathological association, often discovered during repair for inguinal hernia or cryptorchidism. We present 2 cases with PMDS associated with TTS and discuss the diagnosis and management. A hysterectomy was performed, with resection of the underdeveloped fallopian tubes. Both gonads were placed into subdartos pouches in each scrotum by the transseptal approach. The dignosis of PMDS was confirmed postoperatively by genetic and hormonal investigations. Chromosome analysis revealed 46, XY. Pathological findings demonstrated the immature testes and the immature uterus.
