Abstract:
Disorders of sex development (DSD) are characterized by atypical development of chromosomal, gonadal, or phenotypic sex. 45X,46XY mosaicism is a type of sex chromosome DSD which presents with a wide heterogeneity of manifestations. We report the case of a 13-year-old phenotypically female who presented with clitoromegaly at puberty. Testosterone level was elevated on serology. Out of the 50 cells examined, 43 cells had Monosomy X while 7 cells had a normal male karyotype. She was managed by a multidisciplinary team. Due to the presence of Y chromosome, the solid nodular structure seen on the right gonad in magnetic resonance imaging and the pain caused by the phallus, Laparoscopic bilateral gonadectomy, salpingectomy and clitoroplasty were done after a shared decision making. Histopathology revealed Gonadoblastoma and Germ cell neoplasia-in-situ of the right gonad justifying timely removal. She was then maintained on estrogen for induction of secondary sexual characteristics.
