Abstract:
Anomalous sexual development causing ambiguous genitalia is largely categorized by disorders of gonadal differentiation, female pseudohermaphroditism and male pseudohermaphroditism. And the most common cause of ambiguous genitalia is congenital adrenal hyperplasia causing female pseudohermaphroditism. We report a case of female pseudohermaphrodite developed in 16 year-old female who has a phallic urethra, normal breast development and normal menstruation without previous specific treatment. Constructive operation including clitoroplasty and vaginoplasty was performed.
