PERSISTENT MULLERIAN DUCT SYNDROME (PMDS) WITH GERM CELL TUMOUR AND ITS ANAESTHETIC IMPLICATION PLANNED FOR EXPLORATORY LAPAROTOMY

Abstract

Persistent Mullerian duct syndrome is a rare condition occasionally encountered in men with normal phenotype but with presence of Mullerian duct structures. In India, owing to neglect and lack of facilities, we encounter this condition in adult males. A patient came with abdominal pain and subsequent work up done and they found a mass retroperitoneally and did a biopsy for the same. Biopsy proved it as a malignant pathology and the patient was started on chemotherapy to reduce the size of tumour.
