Abstract

Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome (PMDS) is a type of pseudohermaphroditism that occurs in males. It is an autosomal recessive type of familial disease that is commonly associated with a history of consanguinity. We have documented this case of a 22-year-old adult male who came with acute right iliac pain; after an ultrasound scan and hormone investigations, he was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
