Case Presentation: An adult male, presented with complaints of primary infertility and inguinoscrotal swelling. USG shows hernial defect protruding into the scrotum on one side and the testis absent on the contralateral side. Intraoperative findings were of undescended testis both present on left inguinal region with uterus and both the fallopian tubes. Histopathological and karyotyping findings confirm the diagnosis of persistent mullerian duct syndrome.
