Abstract:
Female pseudohermaphrodities are 46XX genetic females with normal Mullerian derivatives, but have various degrees of ambiguous external genitalia. While most of them are commonly associated with adrenogenital syndrome, some of them have been occasionally associated with maternal ingestion of testosterone or synthetic progestational agent, maternal virilizing tumor or rarely idiopathic. Herein, we present three cases of female pseudohermaphroditism which is unrelated with adrenogenital syndrome. One case is resulted from maternal ingestion of progestational agent during the first trimester of pregnancy, and the other idiopathic.
