Müllerian duct remnants (MDR) derive from incomplete regression of female structures, presumably as a consequence of delayed or insufficient production or effect of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) [1–3]. Dilatation of the Müllerian duct remnants can lead to an enlarged prostatic utricle or a Müllerian duct cyst which is known to be present in 4% of newborns and 1% of adults [4]. The prevalence of symptomatic remnants is still unknown. In 11–14% of cases an enlarged prostatic utricle is associated to distal hypospadias or disorders of sexual differentiation (DSD) and to a perineal hypospadias in 50% of cases [5, 6].

Abstract
Müllerian duct remnants (MDR) derive from incomplete regression of female structures, presumably as a consequence of delayed or insufficient production or effect of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) [1–3]. Dilatation of the Müllerian duct remnants can lead to an enlarged prostatic utricle or a Müllerian duct cyst which is known to be present in 4% of newborns and 1% of adults [4]. The prevalence of symptomatic remnants is still unknown. In 11–14% of cases an enlarged prostatic utricle is associated to distal hypospadias or disorders of sexual differentiation (DSD) and to a perineal hypospadias in 50% of cases [5, 6].I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
