چکیده
A 25-year-old female with simple virilizing type of congenital adrenocortical hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency was treated surgically with masculinizing operations which consisted of two-stage procedures. The first procedure was chordectomy associated with excision of both gonads and female internal genitalia.
