Are these structures actually Müllerian derivatives?

"Other Müllerian derivatives which may be present in at least a rudimentary form are the cervix, upper part of the vagina, and fallopian tubes."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15371806 argues that the prostatic utricle, which is the genetic-male homologue of the vagina, is not formed from the Müllerian duct. If that's the case then the syndrome is misnamed at least in cases where part of a vagina is present. But that's synthesis on my part. Am I right, and has any published research said so? --David-Sarah Hopwood ⚥ (talk) 05:17, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pregnancy

An interesting case that is instructive in several ways:

Not the best source, I know. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 14:12, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think that source might be mistaken. It never said she had testes and it doesn’t give much information. It’s possible she had CAH or ovotestes.CycoMa (talk) 16:33, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That article is a bit odd, I think. Folks with PMDS tend to just have vestigial Müllerian tissue, from my understanding at least, and not ovaries - Alison ^❤ 18:08, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
