TWO CASES OF TRUE HERMAPHRODITE

True Hermaphrodite: A Case Report

True hermaphrodite is one of the rarest variety of disorders of sexual differentiation (DSD) and represents only 5% cases of all. A 3-year-old child presented with left sided undescended testis and penoscrotal hypospadias. Chordee correction was performed 18 months back, elsewhere. At laparotomy Mullerian structures were present on left side. On right side testis was normally descended into the...

[True capsular exfoliation: report of two cases].

We report two cases of true capsular exfoliation occurring in elderly patients with no known history of prolonged heat exposure or intraocular inflammation. The biomicroscopic aspects, histopathologic findings and possible surgical implications are discussed.

Two new cases of true hermaphroditism.

A Case of True Hermaphrodite Presenting as Cyclical Hematuria

True hermaphrodite (also known as ovotesticular disorder of sexual development or ovotesticular-DSD), is one of the rare varieties of disorder of sexual development. It is characterized by histologically confirmed both ovarian and testicular tissue in one individual. Here we report the case of a16-year-old phenotypic male with 46, XX genotype(true hermaphrodite) presenting with cyclical hematur...

Unilateral true hermaphrodite with 46,XX/46,XY dispermic chimerism.

A 13 year old female presented with ambiguous external genitalia, right inguinal ovotestis, left ovary, apparently normal Mullerian system, and absent Wolffian system. Cultured lymphocytes showed a 46,XX/46,XY karyotype. Histopathology of the gonads confirmed true hermaphroditism. The presence of two genetically different erythrocyte populations was observed. The findings suggested that the pat...
