“…Earlier studies [8,12] opined that while removing the müllerian remnants, there is a high probability of damage to vas deferens and its blood supply with no disadvantage of conversion into malignancy, so they should not be removed. Thiel and Erhard reported the death of a 14-year-old boy with PMDS, due to metastasis of adenosarcoma arising from the müllerian remnant [14].…”

“…2 Clinically, PMDS is most commonly diagnosed as an incidental finding during an operation, but the presence of unilateral or bilateral undescended testes may increase clinical suspicion. [7][8][9][10][11] Imaging modalities for the diagnosis of PMDS have thus far proven unreliable. 12 Most (60%-70%) of patients with PMDS have bilateral undescended testes located in an area analogous to the ovaries in women.…”

“…Several authors have asserted that the Mullerian structures should not be removed, as there is minimal risk associated with their retention, and excision of the Mullerian structures risks damaging primary blood supply to the PMDS testis via the internal spermatic and the deferential arteries. 9 However, more recent reports have demonstrated rare malignancies, usually adenocarcinomas of the Mullerian duct, associated with retained Mullerian structures. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] If resection is attempted, great care must be taken to avoid damage to the vascular supply to the testis, or vas deferens, which run in close proximity to the remnant uterus and proximal vagina.…”

“…1 In situations where the testis cannot be mobilized enough to reach the scrotum, orchidectomy should be performed. 2 Crossorchidopexy is required in transverse testicular ectopia. 6 There have been recent reports of the use of laparoscopy in PMDS.…”
