Three broad subcategories of intersex have been defined according to the histology of the gonad Female & male pseudohermaphroditism and true hermaphroditism. Twenty two cases of intersex are described. Among them, true hermaphroditism was 7 cas-es, female pseudohermaphroditism 10 cases and male pseudohermaphroditism 5 cases. The presenting symptoms, age of diagnosis, gender role, histologic findings of gonad & tre-atment are discussed. Review of literature and reference on intersex was attempted briefly.
