ABSTRACT
We describe.a 46,XY female with complete gonadal dysgenesis, who developed an endodermal sinus tumor in her peritoneal cavity at 21 years of age. Histological investigations for gonadal dysgenesis revealed a complete absence of testicular development. Molecular studies indicated that the sex determining gene, SRY, was not mutated and that the DSS locus at Xp21.3 was present as a single copy. The possible molecular mechanisms of sex reversal and endodemal sinus tumor in this patient are discussed.
