2019, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :The effect of PMDS on the embryological development of TTE may be explained by mechanical effects. Persistent Mullerian duct may interfere with the expected descent of the testicles mechanically or it may push both testicles towards the same hemiscrotum, and cause the development of TTE [11]. The development of malignancy after puberty has been reported in previous studies.
Testicular ectopia: Why does it happen and what do we do?
2017, Journal of Pediatric SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Several theories have been postulated to explain the pathogenesis of perineal testicular ectopia, including congenital obstruction of the ‘secondary external inguinal ring’ and subsequent migration of testis to the perineal pouch [14], an abnormal interplay between androgen and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) released from the genitofemoral nerve (GFN) [12], or aberrant gubernacular stabilization caused by an anomaly at the distal extremity of the gubernaculum [13]. Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is the result of both testes ultimately descending through the same inguinal canal to sit in a common hemiscrotum [15–17]. Prevailing mechanistic theories to explain TTE included both testes being derived from the same germinal ridge (i.e., duplication of the gonadal primordium) [15], mechanical effect of persistent Müllerian duct structures (persistent Müllerian duct syndrome; PMDS) preventing testicular descent or causing both testicles to descend toward the same hemiscrotum [17], and defective gubernacular formation [16].

2017, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Fusion of the two spermatic cords in the inguinal canal is common and is usually inseparable [10,12]. Familial occurrences have been reported, and it can be associated with other anomalies like persistent Mullerian duct syndrome (PMDS), true hermaphroditism, inguinal hernia, hypospadias, pseudohermaphroditism, seminal vesicle cysts, renal agenesis and scrotal anomalies [3–6]. Ipsilateral inguinal hernia is invariably present in these cases but in our patient there was no evidence of inguinal hernia neither on clinical examination nor on ultrasonography of the inguinoscrotal region.
