A 2-week-old male infant was diagnosed as having persistent Mullerian structures. Microscopically normal testes were found, as well as a uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes. Plasma testosterone values responded normally to human chorionic gonadotrophin stimulation. This condition at times is familial, and genetic counseling is indicated.

CASE REPORT

A 2-week-old white boy presented with a history of a mass in the left groin. This mass was not present at birth. There is no family history of inguinal mass and the patient has no siblings. Physical examination revealed a normal male infant with a 2-cm to 3-cm hard mass in the left inguinal area.
