          Abstract

          Müllerian duct remnants (MDRs) are present in a male pseudohermaphroditic form characterized by failure of the müllerian duct to regress due to insufficient production or peripheral action of müllerian inhibiting substance. The MDR can be asymptomatic but it often results in infections, stones and voiding troubles. Furthermore, it may develop into a neoplasm. Therefore, surgery is mandatory for large MDRs and symptomatic patients. Laparoscopic removal is described.
