Late discovery of a case of testicular feminisation.

چکیده
The accidental discovery, in an inguinal hernia, of a male gonad in a 67-year-old woman is reported. The association of an unambiguous female phenotype with a purely male karyotype and a male gonad suggests the diagnosis of testicular feminisation. The differential diagnosis, particularly of testicular feminisation with true hermaphroditism, is discussed.

A case of complete testicular feminisation and 47,XXY karyotype.
A very rare case of complete testicular feminisation with a 47,XXY sex chromosome complement is described. The X-chromatin is positive. The subject studied, who belongs to a family in which four other members have Morris's syndrome and have a 46,XY karyotype, is a perfect phenotypic female.

3H-DHT binding was examined in cultured skin fibroblasts from a patient with complete testicular feminisation (CTF), from his heterozygote mother, and his clinically normal sister, who menstruated normally. Binding parameters were: Bmax less than 1 fmol/mg protein and KD unmeasurable in CTF; Bmax = 24 fmol/mg protein and KD = 3.63 X 10(-9) mol/l in the mother; and Bmax = 46 fmol/mg protein and...

متن کاملMechanism of hypogonadism in cirrhotic males.
Men with chronic liver disease frequently develop clinical signs of hypogonadism and overt feminisation. Associated with these features, they have been found to have a reduced production of testosterone with low plasma concentrations, but only a minority of cirrhotic men would seem to have a marginal increase in circulating biologically potent oestrogens. Furthermore, this latter finding does n...
