Male pseudohermaphroditism--testicular feminization syndrome is a rare genetic entity with considerably familial predisposition. Of the 9 cases, 7 except 2 children were confirmed surgically. Clinical manifestations of the disorder were primary amenorrhea, infertility and a mass in groin. We suggested that orchiectomy is necessary after puberty. The genetic pattern, clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of the condition were briefly discussed with a review of the literature.

D013734 Androgen-Insensitivity Syndrome A disorder of sexual development transmitted as an X-linked recessive trait. These patients have a karyotype of 46,XY with end-organ resistance to androgen due to mutations in the androgen receptor (RECEPTORS, ANDROGEN) gene. Severity of the defect in receptor quantity or quality correlates with their phenotypes. In these genetic males, the phenotypic spectrum ranges from those with normal female external genitalia, through those with genital ambiguity as in Reifenstein Syndrome, to that of a normal male with INFERTILITY.
