Gonadal calcification. Indication for gonadectomy in gonadal dysgenesis. 1976

P J Schiller, and G E Tagatz

Germ cell tumors, including gonadoblastoma, are usually found in patients with gonadal dysgenesis who have Y chromatin in their genotype. Diffuse calcification is a common finding in gonadoblastomas. Bilateral calcifications in the gonadal sites were seen on the intravenous pyelogram of a patient with 46,XX pure gonadal dysgenesis. Although the calcification was present in the fimbria of the fallopian tube, we suggest that gonadectomy is indicated in the patient with gonadal dysgenesis and probably gonadal calcification.

D005187	Fallopian Tubes	A pair of highly specialized canals extending from the UTERUS to its corresponding OVARY. They provide the means for OVUM transport from the ovaries and they are the site of the ovum's final maturation and FERTILIZATION. The fallopian tube consists of an interstitium, an isthmus, an ampulla, an infundibulum, and fimbriae. Its wall consists of three layers: serous, muscular, and an internal mucosal layer lined with both ciliated and secretory cells.

D014424	Turner Syndrome	A syndrome of defective gonadal development in phenotypic females associated with the karyotype 45,X (or 45,XO). Patients generally are of short stature with undifferentiated GONADS (streak gonads), SEXUAL INFANTILISM, HYPOGONADISM, webbing of the neck, cubitus valgus, elevated GONADOTROPINS, decreased ESTRADIOL level in blood, and CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS. NOONAN SYNDROME (also called Pseudo-Turner Syndrome and Male Turner Syndrome) resembles this disorder; however, it occurs in males and females with a normal karyotype and is inherited as an autosomal dominant.
