Abstract
We report on persistent müllerian duct structures (vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes) in a phenotypically normal white, infertile man with bilateral cryptorchidism. The presence of müllerian structures has been shown during a laparotomy performed because of an accident. The clinical and radio-sonographic findings are presented.
