The finding of persistent mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS) with transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is rare.
Persistent mullerian duct syndrome with TTE may be encountered when performing laparoscopy for patients with nonpalpable testis.
The persistent mullerian remnants vary among individuals and alter the normal anatomy, thus may complicate diagnosis and surgical management.
