Gonadoblastoma presenting as isosexual precocious puberty in a genetic female. 1986

G F Steinhardt, and M Y Ine, and M G Subramanian, and B Hukku, and E V Perrin, and W H Hoffman

A 6 1/2-year-old female with pseudoprecocious puberty was found to have a gonadoblastoma. Her karyotype was 46, XX; serum estradiol level was markedly elevated; and androgens were within the range of normal. The importance of the Y chromosome and dysgenetic gonad in the predisposition to development of a gonadoblastoma is reviewed. A further categorization of gonadoblastomas based on the presence or absence of the Y chromosome is suggested.

D004407 Dysgerminoma A malignant ovarian neoplasm, thought to be derived from primordial germ cells of the sexually undifferentiated embryonic gonad. It is the counterpart of the classical seminoma of the testis, to which it is both grossly and histologically identical. Dysgerminomas comprise 16% of all germ cell tumors but are rare before the age of 10, although nearly 50% occur before the age of 20. They are generally considered of low-grade malignancy but may spread if the tumor extends through its capsule and involves lymph nodes or blood vessels.
