We confirmed right cryptorchidism (Figure 1(a)) at the time of surgery. We also noted a solid structure resembling a uterus that extended into the left inguinal canal (Figure 1(b)).
Magnetic resonance imaging shows a left inguinal hernia containing uterine and vaginal structures extending from the left inguinal canal into the scrotum (yellow arrows). There is a normal testis in the left hemiscrotum (white arrow). Mullerian duct derivatives are connected to the prostate on the dorsal side (white arrowhead).
