Objective: AMH causes fetal paramesonephric duct regression and is involved in testicular development and function. Sertoli cell AMH remains high during childhood until puberty. The appendix testis (AT), a remnant of the paramesonephric duct, contains both androgen and estrogen receptors. AT androgen receptors have been reported to play a role in embryonic testicular descent. The AT is commonly resected during orchiopexy and abdominal surgery as possible torsion in the future ...
