RESUMO
Females with XY karyotype and streak gonads are classified as presenting XY gonodal dysgenesis. These patients are at higher risk of developing malignancy in their gonads; in such cases prophylactic surgical removal is indicated. This article reports a case in which a patient with dysgenesis presented 45,X/46,XY karyotype. Laparoscopic prophylactic gonodal resection was performed. Laparoscopy plays an important role in exploring pelvic structures and allows the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of lesions. In addition, it provides an effective method for gonadectomy. The prophylactic removal of dysgenetic gonads using this surgical technique has been preferred in selected patients lately.
