A Case of True Hermaphroditism Presenting as a Testicular Tumour
نویسندگان
چکیده
True hermaphroditism represents only 5% cases of all of disorders of sexual differentiation (DSD) and usually present in early childhood with ambiguous genitalia. Occasionally, cases might present later on in adolescence with problems of sexual maturation. Our case report presents a true hermaphrodite with normal male phenotype that presented as a left testicular mass, two years after being diagnosed with Sertoli cell only syndrome in the contralateral testis. Histological examination of the left testis showed ovarian, fallopian tube, myometrial, endometrial, and epididymal tissue. This combination of findings is found in approximately one-third of true hermaphrodites, but it is very rare to present clinically as an inguinoscrotal mass.

متن کاملLate discovery of a case of testicular feminisation.
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.

Crossed testicular ectopia (CTE)/transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) is a rare but well known congenital anomaly, in which both gonads migrate toward the same hemiscrotum. It is usually associated with other abnormalities such as persistent Mullerian duct syndrome, true hermaphroditism, inguinal hernia, hypospadias, pseudohermaphroditism, and scrotal anomalies. About 100 cases of transverse tes...

The diagnosis of ovotesticular DSD is based solely on the presence of ovarian and testicular tissue in ...
