XY gonadal dysgenesis in three siblings. 1980

S A Phansey, and R Satterfield, and R J Jorgenson, and C F Salinas, and F E Yoder, and R S Mathur, and H O Williamson

Three tall, phenotypic female siblings with XY gonadal dysgenesis were found to have short fourth metacarpal bones (bilateral in two and unilateral in the other). Clitoromegaly was observed in the two older siblings, without hirsutism. Bilateral streak gonads were found in all three. A gonadoblastoma was present in the left streak gonad of the youngest, and an adenomatoid tumor in the left streak gonad of the oldest, who was diabetic. Determination of androgens from peripheral and gonadal venous plasma revealed androgen secretion by the streak gonads. On the basis of clinical findings, familial tendency, and androgen secretion from the streak gonads in these patients, it is proposed that the XY gonadal dysgenesis represents a severe form of male pseudohermaphroditism.

D008297 Male Males
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.

D006059 Gonadal Dysgenesis A number of syndromes with defective gonadal developments such as streak GONADS and dysgenetic testes or ovaries. The spectrum of gonadal and sexual abnormalities is reflected in their varied sex chromosome (SEX CHROMOSOMES) constitution as shown by the karyotypes of 45,X monosomy (TURNER SYNDROME); 46,XX (GONADAL DYSGENESIS, 46XX); 46,XY (GONADAL DYSGENESIS, 46,XY); and sex chromosome MOSAICISM; (GONADAL DYSGENESIS, MIXED). Their phenotypes range from female, through ambiguous, to male. This concept includes gonadal agenesis. Gonadal Agenesis,Dysgenesis, Gonadal
