Abstract
A case of duplicated Mullerian duct remnants associated with unilateral renal agenesis in a male patient is described. This association is not uncommon in females, but is rarely recognized in male patients. The possibility of Mullerian duct cyst or enlarged prostatic utricle should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pelvic cyst in a male patient with unilateral renal agenesis.
