Abstract
A 3-year-old white patient was hospitalized for the second recurrence of an epididymitis but this time with a left, scrotal abscess. He was known to have a perineoscrotal hypospadias associated with bilateral u ndescended testis. Cystoscopy with cystourethrography releaved the pre sence of a ''prostatic utricle''. At operation after treatment of the infection the utricle was exised. Surprisingly a vagina masculinus (va gina, uterus and fallopian tubes without ovaries) more than a conventi onal utricle was found.
