We report on a 20-year-old man in whom endocrinological investigation owing to dysmorphic signs characteristic for Turner syndrome revealed mixed gonadal dysgenesis. The patient was referred to us for further diagnostic investigations on a right intrascrotal tumour. Both testes were intrascrotal and hypotrophic with normal testosterone production. Surgical investigation showed a circumscribed tumor that proved to be a rudimentary uterus without evidence of malignancy at histological examination. Biopsies from both tested showed no signs of malignant disease. After removal of the tumor, we decided not to remove the testes prophylactically because of the male phenotype and the sufficient testosterone production.

D006060 Gonadal Dysgenesis, Mixed A type of defective gonadal development in patients with a wide spectrum of chromosomal mosaic variants. Their karyotypes are of partial sex chromosome monosomy resulting from an absence or an abnormal second sex chromosome (X or Y). Karyotypes include 45,X/46,XX; 45,X/46,XX/47,XXX; 46,XXp-; 45,X/46,XY; 45,X/47,XYY; 46,XYpi; etc. The spectrum of phenotypes may range from phenotypic female to phenotypic male including variations in gonads and internal and external genitalia, depending on the ratio in each gonad of 45,X primordial germ cells to those with normal 46,XX or 46,XY constitution.
