A 16-year-old male-looking patient presented at the emergency room for severe abdominal
pain. Physical examination revealed acute abdomen, ambiguous genitalia, empty rectal vault
with watery discharge and right lower quadrant palpable mass. Ultrasound showed a uterus
and right adnexal mass. General surgery evaluated urethral patency and noted presence of
recto-urethral fistula. Surgical exploration, right salpingo-oophorectomy and suprapubic
cystostomy were done. Immediate referral to a reproductive endocrinologist was done postoperatively. Retrograde urethrogram and cystogram revealed neurogenic bladder with fistula
formation. On follow up, whole abdomen MRI revealed thickened endometrium with fluid
levels, tortuous left fallopian tube, multiloculated left adnexal mass and left renal agenesis.
Serum levels of 17-hydroxyprogesterone and cortisol were noted to be elevated and
karyotyping revealed 46 XX. Patient then underwent psychiatric evaluation and assessment.
Patient was readmitted for urology and pediatric surgery diagnostic work up. However,
regardless of the findings, patient decided not to undergo further surgeries and opted to be
female.
