ABSTRACT
@#Disorders of sexual development (DSD) defined as congenital conditions associated with atypical development of anatomical, gonadal or chromosomal sex, is a rare condition that may present with ambiguous genitalia. Included in the varied classes of DSD is mixed gonadal dysgenesis which is known to be due to mosaicism, a chromosomal aberration. Mosaic individuals may have concerns on growth, hormone balance, gonadal development, sex of rearing and fertility. This case report presents an 18-year old student who presented with primary amenorrhea, delayed secondary sexual characteristics and phenotypic features of Turner syndrome who, on chromosomal analysis revealed 45X0/46XY mosaicism. The patient underwent operative laparoscopy with bilateral gonadectomy on the basis of the increased risk of development of gonadal malignancy in phenotypic females with Y-chromosome material. Histopathological analysis revealed bilateral streak gonads. Hormone replacement therapy was then initiated for the induction of secondary female sex characteristics, as treatment for estrogen deficiency, for the induction of pubertal growth spurt and for optimization of bone mineral accumulation. Management of disorders of sexual development is challenging, thus the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving experts in endocrinology, gynecology, psychology and genetics.
