Retrospective Analysis of Effective Management Strategies for Primary Amenorrhea of Reproductive Age in Saudi Arabia.

Primary amenorrhea, the absence of menstruation by age 15, can have significant implications for reproductive health and overall well-being. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various management strategies for primary amenorrhea among women of reproductive age in Saudi Arabia. Medical records of 63 eligible patients from 2018 to 2023 were analyzed, assessing diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, and associated outcomes. The findings revealed that hormonal therapy was the most commonly employed management strategy (50.0%) and demonstrated the highest rate of achieving menstrual regularity (62.5%). Surgical interventions were utilized in 28.1% of cases, with a 50.0% rate of symptom resolution. Lifestyle modifications were less frequent (21.9%) but showed a moderate rate of symptom resolution (35.7%). Logistic regression analysis identified age, underlying etiology, and management strategy as significant predictors of treatment success. Subgroup analyses highlighted the efficacy of hormonal therapy and lifestyle modifications for genetic etiologies, while surgical interventions were more effective for anatomical causes. The study underscores the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic approach and personalized treatment plans tailored to individual patient characteristics. Despite limitations, the findings contribute to the understanding of optimal management strategies for primary amenorrhea and emphasize the need for multidisciplinary collaboration in addressing this complex condition.

Primary amenorrhea in myotonic dystrophy type 1: Initial presentation versus incidental finding on whole genome sequencing.

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 is an autosomal dominant condition due to a CTG repeat expansion in the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) gene. This multisystem disorder affects multiple organ systems. Hypogonadism in males affected by myotonic dystrophy is commonly reported; however, the effect on female hypogonadism remains controversial. A 19-year-old female was referred to our genetics clinic due to primary amenorrhea without any family history of similar symptoms. Initial genetics evaluation identified a variant of uncertain significance in IGSF10, c.2210T>C (p.Phe737Ser). Follow-up genetic evaluation via whole genome sequencing identified at least 100 CTG repeats in the DMPK gene, thus resulting in the diagnosis of myotonic dystrophy type 1. The patient remains otherwise asymptomatic from myotonic dystrophy. This is the first report that demonstrates primary amenorrhea as a possible presenting feature of myotonic dystrophy type 1, thus providing evidence supporting female hypogonadism in myotonic dystrophy type 1.

Magnetic resonance imaging features of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome in comparison to Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome.

PURPOSE: Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) and Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS) share common clinical features such as female phenotype, vaginal hypoplasia, and primary amenorrhea. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is performed to investigate the cause of primary amenorrhea. However, the MRI features are also similar in both disorders. They are ultimately diagnosed by chromosome testing, but there is a possibility of misdiagnosis if chromosome testing is not performed. This study aimed to identify MRI features that are useful for differentiating CAIS from MRKHS. METHOD: This multicenter retrospective study included 12 patients with CAIS and 19 patients with MRKHS. Three radiologists blindly evaluated the following features: (1) detection of vagina, (2) detection of nodular and cystic structures in the lateral pelvis; undescended testicles and paratesticular cysts in CAIS and rudimentary uteri and ovaries in MRKHS, (3) their location, (4) number of cysts in the cystic structures, and (5) signal intensity on diffusion-weighted images (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of the nodular structures. Statistical comparisons were performed using Mann-Whitney U and Fisher's exact tests. RESULTS: Compared with MRKHS, the CAIS group showed significantly detectable vagina, more ventrally located nodular and cystic structures, fewer cysts within the cystic structures, and nodular structures with higher signal intensity on DWI and lower ADC values. CONCLUSIONS: MRI features of detectable vagina, location of nodular and cystic structures, number of cysts within the cystic structures, signal intensity on DWI and ADC values of the nodular structures were useful in differentiating CAIS from MRKHS.

A Case Report of 17α-Hydroxylase Deficiency in Two Saudi Siblings With Different Karyotyping.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) consists of variable disorders of sex determination and differentiation. 17α-hydroxylase deficiency (17OHD) is an uncommon form of those disorders, which is typically characterized by hypertension, hypokalemia, failure of puberty, and ambiguous genitalia. The 17α-hydroxylase enzyme is encoded by the CYP17A1 gene and it is required for the synthesis of cortisol and sex steroids. The affected females with 17OHD usually present with primary amenorrhea and delayed puberty, which are associated with hypertension and hypokalemia while male patients might show female external genitalia, pseudohermaphroditism, or variable degrees of ambiguous genitalia with intra-abdominal testes in addition to hypertension and hypokalemia as well. We present two Saudi siblings (19 and 16 years old) who were diagnosed with the rare CAH subtype of 17OHD after presenting with long-standing hypertension, refractory hypokalemia, and failure of puberty. It is interesting that both siblings had biochemical primary adrenal insufficiency; however, both patients did not clinically present with an acute adrenal crisis, which is likely due to the effect of increased levels of deoxycorticosterone. Additionally, although both patients have similar phenotypes and clinical presentations, they have different karyotypes. This again highlights the variability of the manifestations that can result from 17OHD even with an identical mutation in the same family. Both patients were treated successfully with dexamethasone, which has led to the normalization of hypertension, resolution of hypokalemia, and discontinuation of anti-hypertensive medications and potassium supplements after several years of treatment. However, the entire management is quite challenging and requires a multidisciplinary approach regarding difficult issues such as gender identity and assignment and fertility issues in addition to a life-long follow-up.

A Case Report of Familial Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome as Part of the Phenotypic Spectrum of the 2q37 Deletion.

We performed a genetic investigation into the case of an inherited Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome. Our patients were an adolescent and her mother, both with MRKH syndrome. The delivery of a biological offspring was achieved via a gestational carrier. Karyotype and exome sequencing were used to complete a three-generation genetic analysis of the family. Both the mother and her daughter harbored a deletion of 4 Mb at the locus of 2q37, a syndrome rarely described in association with MRKH. No pathogenic single-nucleotide variant relevant to the phenotype was found. The deletion was not inherited from either parent of the mother. In addition, some physical findings suggesting 2q37 deletion syndrome were found in our patients. We conclude that when combined with the use of a gestational carrier or uterine transplantation, the identification of a genetic cause for MRKH may enable the application of preimplantation genetic testing on embryos, thus potentially averting the transmission of the genetic anomaly to subsequent generations.

An unusual case report of transverse vaginal septum presenting as primary amenorrhea.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Outflow tract disorders are uncommon causes of primary amenorrhea. Transverse vaginal septum (TVS) is a rare cause of outflow tract obstruction. CASE PRESENTATION: A 15-year-old female presented to us with severe abdominal pain. Abdominal examination revealed a boggy mass in the suprapubic region. The diagnosis was made following a history of primary amenorrhea, lower abdominal pain, and pelvic examination which revealed a vaginal septum. She had surgical resection of the vaginal septum and a mold was left in situ to keep the vagina patent during the healing process. The procedure was uneventful and she was able to achieve menstrual flow following surgery, septoplasty being performed after three months. DISCUSSION: Transverse vaginal septum is an unusual cause of primary amenorrhea. These lesions, albeit rare, usually have a typical presentation and are amenable to surgical management. CONCLUSION: Although transverse vaginal septum is a rare diagnosis in our practice, it is important to establish early diagnosis and carry out proper management so as to preserve normal physiology and fertility as well as to prevent complications.

Parsing Genetic and Autoimmune Etiology in Premature Ovarian Insufficiency.

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a rare cause of primary amenorrhea in adolescents. For young women with uncertain etiology of POI, genetic and autoimmune testing may be recommended to assist in treatment and management decisions. This report presents a case of POI in a 16-year-old adolescent with both poly-autoimmune disease and a heterozygous missense variant in the bone morphogenic factor 15 (BMP15) gene, both potentially involved in the pathogenesis of POI. Accurately distinguishing between autoimmune and genetic causes is crucial for effective treatment and counseling. In addition, given the significant psychological impact and the need for reproductive options counseling, a multidisciplinary approach that includes psychological support is highly recommended.

Thalidomide-Induced Primary Amenorrhea in a Patient With HbE/Beta-Thalassemia.

An 18-year-old girl was evaluated for primary amenorrhea. She was diagnosed with hemoglobin E (HbE)/beta-thalassemia during childhood and needed blood transfusions every month to maintain adequate hemoglobin levels. She was started on thalidomide to reduce her transfusion requirements at 12 years of age and became transfusion independent after 6 months. She had normal stature and Tanner stage 4 sexual maturation, but she failed to attain menarche. Investigations revealed that she had elevated serum gonadotropin levels, indicating primary ovarian dysfunction. Her karyotype was 46,XX. Ultrasonographic examination demonstrated the absence of follicles in both ovaries. There was no evidence of abnormalities of the urogenital tract. Thalidomide was stopped, and she attained menarche spontaneously 3 months thereafter. Subsequently, her menstrual cycles were regular. Repeat ultrasound scans demonstrated the presence of ovarian follicles as well as an increase in ovarian volume. Mechanistic links between ovarian dysfunction and thalidomide remain to be found. One possibility is impaired blood flow and follicular development.

Urinary retention complicated by hematocolpos in an adolescent girl: Case report.

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: This case report is intended to present an unusual cause of urinary retention by a congenital vaginal obstruction, such as hematocolpos. Hematocolpos is an obstruction of the menstrual flow due to an anomaly of the genital tract, with imperforate hymen being the most common one. CASE PRESENTATION: A 12-year-old female patient, was referred to our emergency department for recurrent abdominal pain lasting approximately 90 days. She presented with intermittent dysuria and supra pubic fullness. Ultrasonography confirmed acute urinary retention and features of hematocolpos [7]. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: High index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose and treat such patients promptly. Patients usually present with cyclic pain, primary amenorrhea, incomplete emptying of urine, chronic constipation, back pain and recurrent urinary tract infections. Our patient presented with acute urinary retention. CONCLUSION: This case report highlights the importance of early recognition of hematocolpos as a potential cause of cyclic pain, and urinary symptoms. Prompt and accurate diagnosis with the appropriate surgical managements, to resolve their symptoms with successful outcomes.

A rare case of Swyer syndrome from Pakistan in a young girl with primary amenorrhea and 46XY genotype.

Swyer syndrome is a condition where individuals with a 46XY karyotype, typically associated with males, display complete gonadal dysgenesis and lack testicular differentiation. This results from a mutation in the SRY gene, which is essential for testis development. As a consequence, affected individuals who appear phenotypically female have male chromosomes but do not develop functional testes. As a result, there is an absence of testosterone that leads to lack of masculinization and the presence of female genitalia. This article describes a 20-year-old female from Pakistan who exhibited primary amenorrhea. On examination, she possessed a typical female physique but lacked breast growth and axillary hair. She had scant pubic hair with female-type external genitalia. The pelvic imaging showed a underdeveloped uterus, along with small ovaries and fallopian tubes. Her karyotype came out to be 46XY. The examination and radiological results indicated Swyer syndrome. During laparoscopy, the patient's uterus was found to be infantile, while the fallopian tubes were healthy. Streak gonads were also present, and due to the risk of gonadoblastoma, they were surgically removed. Hormone replacement therapy was started to induce pubertal development and optimize bone mineral accumulation.

A Case of Chemical Pregnancy in a Female With Turner Syndrome.

Turner syndrome (TS) is a genetic anomaly that is characterized by the absence of an X chromosome, either completely or partially. Primary amenorrhea, short stature, webbed neck, cubitus valgus, and a little intellectual disability are some of the characteristics. Infertility is also one of the most common clinical symptoms of TS-affected females. With the advent of assisted reproductive technology (ART), chances of childbearing possibilities for TS females have risen. Infertility issues in females with TS are challenging, but they can be managed with proper counseling and ART by artificial implantation, oocyte donation, and others. This case report aims to present the case of a 27-year-old female who had not attained her menarche and wanted to conceive. She was diagnosed with TS on the basis of clinical and laboratory investigations. The patient was, thereafter, treated for infertility by oocyte donation and conceived successfully.

The Successful Management of Primary Amenorrhea in Woodhouse-Sakati Syndrome: A Case Report and a Literature Review.

BACKGROUND: Woodhouse-Sakati syndrome (WSS) is a rare multisystemic disease resulting from an autosomal recessive gene mutation characterized by distinctive facial appearance, alopecia, impaired HbA1c, and hypogonadism. PURPOSE: To present the successful management of primary amenorrhea in a WSS patient. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 19-year-old Saudi female referred to the gynecology clinic at the age of 16 as a case of primary amenorrhea. The patient underwent a genetic analysis, which revealed mutations in the DCAF17 gene, confirming the diagnosis of WSS. Treatment includes hormonal replacement therapy for the induction of puberty. CONCLUSIONS: Careful and detailed medical and physical examination led to appropriate testing confirming the WSS diagnosis. Genetic tests for family members and the offspring of the patient are strongly recommended. Treatment timing and dosage are determined by the patient's individual needs, which take into consideration the patient's potential for growth, the family's readiness, and any comorbidities.

Neurofibromatosis-Noonan Syndrome With Primary Amenorrhoea: A Case Report.

Neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome is a rare RASopathy syndrome. It occurs due to the mutation in the NF1 gene and the patients present with the phenotypic features of both Neurofibromatosis and Noonan syndrome. Here a case of an early adolescent girl is described who presented with the chief complaint of primary amenorrhoea and on evaluation was diagnosed to be a patient of Neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome. The index case was short-statured with a short and broad neck. Physical examination revealed a pointed pinna, hypertelorism, telecanthus, characteristic facies, and multiple freckles all over the body. She also had numerous atypical café-au-lait spots. Whole genome sequencing revealed Neurofibromatosis-Noonan syndrome which was likely a pathogenic variant causative of the typical phenotype present with a mutation in the neurofibromin gene (NF1) on chromosome 17q11. We discuss here the management and follow-up of the case.

Growth Failure and Primary Amenorrhea: Endocrine Dysfunction as a Late Presentation of Crohn's Disease.

Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease involving entire gastrointestinal tract, most commonly affecting terminal ileum and colon. It usually presents with gastrointestinal symptoms like bloody diarrhea, fever and loss of weight. The clinical course of CD includes gastrointestinal complications like fistulas, abscesses and perianal disease. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are usually diagnosed during childhood and adolescence, majority during puberty and pubertal growth spurt. Various extraintestinal manifestations may be a presentation of CD that poses a diagnostic challenge. Growth failure is an important complication of IBD rather than a manifestation. Herein we present a case of a 16-year-old Sri Lankan girl presenting with growth failure and primary amenorrhea. She had minimal gastrointestinal symptoms. She also had microcytic anemia with marginally elevated inflammatory markers and hormonal profile. She underwent colonoscopy and was diagnosed to have Crohn's disease confirmed by ileal biopsy. On initiation of treatment with immunosuppressants, she attained menarche, although no improvement in height was observed.

Family size for women with primary ovarian insufficiency and their relatives.

STUDY QUESTION: How does the number of children in women with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) compare to the number for control women across their reproductive lifespans? SUMMARY ANSWER: Approximately 14% fewer women with POI will have children, but for those able to have children the median number is 1 less than for age-matched controls. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Women with POI are often identified when presenting for fertility treatment, but some women with POI already have children and there remains a low chance for pregnancy after the diagnosis. Further, POI is heritable, but it is not known whether relatives of women with POI have a smaller family size than relatives of controls. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: The study was a retrospective case-control study of women with POI diagnosed from 1995 to 2021 (n = 393) and age-matched controls (n = 393). PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: Women with POI were identified using ICD9 and 10 codes in electronic medical records (1995-2021) from two major healthcare systems in Utah and reviewed for accuracy. Cases were linked to genealogy information in the Utah Population Database. All POI cases (n = 393) were required to have genealogy information available for at least three generations of ancestors. Two sets of female controls were identified: one matched for birthplace (Utah or elsewhere) and 5-year birth cohort, and a second also matched for fertility status (children present). The number of children born and maternal age at each birth were ascertained by birth certificates (available from 1915 to 2020) for probands, controls, and their relatives. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparisons. A subset analysis was performed on women with POI and controls who delivered at least one child and on women who reached 45 years to capture reproductive lifespan. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: Of the 393 women with POI and controls, 211 women with POI (53.7%), and 266 controls (67.7%) had at least one child. There were fewer children born to women with POI versus controls (median (interquartile range) 1 (0-2) versus 2 (0-3); P = 3.33 × 10-6). There were no children born to women with POI and primary amenorrhea or those <25 years old before their diagnosis. When analyzing women with at least one child, women with POI had fewer children compared to controls overall (2 (1-3) versus 2 (2-4); P = 0.017) and when analyzing women who reached 45 years old (2 (1-3) versus 3 (2-4); P = 0.0073). Excluding known donor oocyte pregnancies, 7.1% of women with POI had children born after their diagnosis. There were no differences in the number of children born to relatives of women with POI, including those with familial POI. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: The data are limited based on inability to determine whether women were trying for pregnancy throughout their reproductive lifespan or were using contraception. Unassisted births after the diagnosis of POI may be slightly over-estimated based on incomplete data regarding use of donor oocytes. The results may not be generalizable to countries or states with late first births or lower birth rates. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: Approximately half of women with POI will bear children before diagnosis. Although women with POI had fewer children than age matched controls, the difference in number of children is one child per woman. The data suggest that fertility may not be compromised leading up to the diagnosis of POI for women diagnosed at 25 years or later and with secondary amenorrhea. However, the rate of pregnancy after the diagnosis is low and we confirm a birth rate of <10%. The smaller number of children did not extend to relatives when examined as a group, suggesting that it may be difficult to predict POI based on family history.

Late presentation of Swyer syndrome: A case report.

Swyer syndrome-a rare syndrome associated with complete gonadal dysgenesis-is seen in phenotypically female patients with 46-XY karyotype. They usually present with primary amenorrhea or delayed puberty. The dysgenetic gonad, which is nonfunctional, is prone to undergo malignant transformation such as dysgerminoma, gonadoblastoma, etc. Timely diagnosis helps in deciding appropriate management strategies for the patient such as hormone replacement therapy and gonadectomy. Thirty-year-old patient with a female external phenotype presented to us with complaints of primary amenorrhea. There was no similar family history of infertility, amenorrhea, abnormal external genitalia development, or cryptorchidism. On physical examination, the breast development of the patient was within normal limits for her age (Tanner stage 5), however; the axillary and pubic hair were underdeveloped (Tanner stage 2). Pelvic and inguinal ultrasound of the patient showed a hypoplastic uterus along with a cystic structure in left pelvis with no evidence of any testes like structure in inguinal region, pelvis, or abdomen. The patient was further evaluated with MRI of pelvis which confirmed the ultrasound findings of a hypoplastic uterus along with a dysplastic cystic left gonad with no evidence of any ovary or ovary-like structure/testes/testes-like structure in abdomen. Possibility of complete gonadal dysgenesis was given which was further confirmed by the hormonal assay that showed hypergonadotropic-hypogonadism with raised serum follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) and serum luteinizing hormone (LH) levels and a low estradiol, low testosterone, and low anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels. Serum prolactin (PRL), serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (beta hCG) levels were within normal range. The cytogenetic report of the patient showed a 46-XY karyotype confirming our diagnosis. The patient was advised to undergo prophylactic gonadectomy for the left gonad. Swyer syndrome is a rare disorder of sexual development which needs vigorous clinical, laboratory, and radiological evaluation. Ultrasound is the primary investigation of choice whereas MRI is used as a problem-solving tool in localizing the streak gonads. Early diagnosis is crucial in these patients since prophylactic gonadectomy reduces the risk of developing germ cell tumor.

An extremely rare missense mutation of the androgen receptor gene in a Vietnamese family with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.

We report a Vietnamese family with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome that included several phenotypic females who have a 46,XY karyotype with an extremely rare mutation of the androgen receptor gene. The proband was a 27-year-old phenotypic adult female referred to our department for karyotyping due to primary amenorrhea. Ultrasound examination revealed a small uterus. Chromosomal analysis showed a 46,XY karyotype. A polymerase chain reaction assay revealed the presence of the sex-determining region Y gene. Next-generation sequencing detected the NM_000044.6(AR):c.2170C>T(p.Pro274Ser) mutation, which was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. There is only one previous report of this mutation in a child with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. In the family presented in this study, there were four more phenotypic adult females with primary amenorrhea and a phenotypic female infant with testes in the inguinal canals. The infant (first cousin once removed of the proband) presented with inguinal hernia/swelling in a phenotypic female and one of the four abovementioned adults had similar genetic analysis results. This is the second report of a missense mutation NM 000044.6(AR):c.2170C>T in the world and the first study to document a pedigree consisting of several individuals with CAIS as a result of this mutation. The presence of a tiny uterus in the proband, which is a rare occurrence in complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, is a unique clinical indicator of the disorder's variable expressivity.

A rare case report of vaginoplasty using amnion graft in an Afghan woman with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome: A first report in Afghanistan.

INTRODUCTION: Mayer-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is the second reason for primary amenorrhea. MRKHS is an uncommon congenital disorder characterized by agenesis of mullerrian structures, uterus, and upper two-thirds of the vagina, with normal fully developed secondary sexual characteristics. CASE PRESENTATION: This report describes the case of a 30-year-old married woman with primary amenorrhea. She had normal secondary sex characteristics, but the uterus, cervix, and upper two-thirds of the vagina were absent. She underwent the modified Abbe McIndoe procedure. The amnion membrane was mounted on the mold with a mesenchymal surface outward to adhere surface of the neovagina. After three months, it was not necessary to use the mold and sexual intercourse was recommended. DISCUSSION: The modified Abbe- McIndoe method with amnion graft is save, rapid, and simple procedure. The amnion membrane is easily storable and accessible. Therefore, this technique is effective and simple for developing countries including Afghanistan. CONCLUSION: This case indicates that the modified Abbe McIndoe methods can be used as a safe procedure in the treatment of MRKH Syndrome.

An Atypical Cause of Primary Amenorrhea: A Case Report of Rare Vaginal Agenesis.

Vaginal agenesis is part of a group of anomalies, referred to as Mullerian anomalies due to their embryologic origin, in which there is a congenital absence of the vagina. We present a unique case in which a 20-year-old female presented to the Emergency Department with cyclical abdominal pain and primary amenorrhea. The original assessment showed a probable imperforate hymen; however, it was later found that she likely had vaginal agenesis. Vaginal agenesis is a rare disease, but it is prevalent enough that it should be kept at the forefront of the differential diagnosis in a woman with primary amenorrhea and recurring pain. We also highlight the importance of patient education in general, but categorically to sexual health.

Pituitary Macroadenoma in a Girl with Male Karyotype: A Rare Case Study.

Macroadenoma is a tumor that typically develops in the epithelial cells of the pituitary gland. Patients suffering from the condition are often asymptomatic with complaints that are caused by hormonal imbalance. Therefore, chromosome analysis needs to be done to females aged >16 years presenting with amenorrhea. Karyotype 46,XY is a disorder of sex development (DSD) that is caused by the complex process of gene interactions, androgen synthesis, and hormone regulation. The patient initially came to the hospital for a scheduled transsphenoidal surgery due to pituitary macroadenoma, and later complained of primary amenorrhea and atypical external genital. Furthermore, physical examination of genitalia revealed mild clitoromegaly without obvious introitus vagina. Laboratory testing showed elevated prolactin and testosterone level, while ultrasonography imaging revealed the absence of the uterus and ovaries. The brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a pituitary adenoma, and cytogenetic analysis showed 46,XY karyotype. Subsequently, hyperprolactinemia, imaging, and histopathology examination were used to confirm pituitary macroadenoma in the patient. It was assumed that the undermasculinized genitalia was caused by hormonal disorders including the deficiency of androgen action or 5-alpha-reductase enzyme. 46,XY DSD has many different symptoms, hence, clinicians need to be aware of potential multifactorial aetiologies. Imaging of internal genitalia, hormonal and chromosomal analysis should be carried out to assess patients with unknown causes of the disorder. Molecular analysis needs to be carried to exclude the possible gene mutation.
