LAPAROSCOPIC GONADECTOMY IN 46,XY GONADAL DYSGENESIS

ABSTRACT

We reported a case of a 17 year-old female, who presented with primary amenorrhea. She had normal female external genitalia and a 46,XY karyotype. Hormone profiles and laparoscopic findings confirmed a diagnosis of 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis (Swyer syndrome). Prophylactic gonadectomy was performed laparoscopically to prevent the risk of malignant germ cell tumor. Current management of this rare syndrome was reviewed.
