We are reporting on the case of a 46XY male patient that presented a bilateral testicular seminoma in the setting of bilateral cryptorchidia and left inguinal hernia. The patient received five courses of cisplatin/ciclophosphamide followed by 3,000 cGy of radiation. The patient then, underwent resection of the residual mass and of an unrecognizable pelvic structure. The histopathological analysis revealed necrosis of the residual seminoma and an atrophic uterus. Currently, the patient is alive and asymptomatic at 88 months of follow-up. This is the third case reported of a patient with persistent mullerian duct syndrome and bilateral seminoma.
