Abstract
Persistent Mullerian duct structures and crossed testicular ectopia were found in two phenotypically normal, unrelated males, with 46,XY karyotype, during routine herniorrhaphy. In each case, the vascular supply to the ectopic testis originated from the appropriate ipsilateral side. The clinical significance and genetic implications of this rare association are discussed.
