Abstract

BACKGROUND: Persistent mullerian duct syndrome is a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism in which well-developed mullerian structures are present in an otherwise normal male with XY chromosomes. The syndrome was first described by Nilson in 1939, and almost 100 cases have been reported.
