Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare form of male pseudohermaphroditism (MPH) which characterized by the presence of uterus, fallopian tubes and upper part of vagina in an otherwise normally differentiated 46, XY male. The syndrome is caused by either an insufficient amount of antimüllerian hormone AMH or by insensitivity of the target organ to this factor, It is usually discovered in patient who assessed for infertility, cryptorchidism or during intra-abdominal surgery. Herein We report a rare presentation case of PMDS with intra-abdominal mass which came to be seminoma.

Keywords: Cryptorchidism; Germ cell tumor; PMDS.
