[Swyer syndrome with gonadal non-dysgerminoma malignant germ cell tumors: a report of 15 cases in a national medical center].

Objective: To evaluate the incidence, treatment, and survival outcomes of Swyer syndrome with gonadal non-dysgerminoma malignant germ cell tumor (MGCT-NDG). Methods: A retrospective study was performed on Swyer syndrome patients with MGCT-NDG between January 2011 and December 2022 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital to investigate their characteristics and outcomes. Results: A total of 15 patients (4.9%, 15/307) with Swyer syndrome were identified in 307 MGCT-NDG patients. The average age at diagnosis of MGCT-NDG and Swyer syndrome were (16.8±6.7) and (16.7±6.6) years, respectively. Six cases were preoperatively diagnosed as Swyer syndrome, of which 4 cases received bilateral gonadectomy with or without hysterectomy, while the other 2 cases underwent removal of gonadal tumor and unilateral gonadectomy with hysterectomy, respectively. Of the 9 patients postoperatively diagnosed as Swyer syndrome, unilateral gonadectomy, removal of gonadal tumor, and unilateral gonadectomy with hysterectomy were performed in 6 patients, 2 patients, and 1 patient, respectively. Mixed malignant germ cell tumor (MGCT;10 cases), yolk sac tumor (4 cases), and immature teratoma (1 case) were the pathological subtypes, in the descending order. There were International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅰ in 6 cases, stage Ⅱ in 3 cases, stage Ⅲ in 5 cases, and stage Ⅳ in 1 case, respectively. Eleven patients received reoperation for residual gonadectomy after a average delay of (7.9±6.2) months, including 8 MGCT-NDG patients and 1 gonadoblastoma patient, no tumor involved was seen in the remaining gonads in the other 2 cases. Ten patients experienced at least one recurrence, with a median event free survival of 9 months (5, 30 months), of which 2 patients received surgery only at the time of initial treatment. All patients with recurrence received surgery and combined with postoperative chemotherapy. After a median follow-up of 25 months (15, 42 months), 10 patients were disease-free, 3 patients died of the tumor, 1 died of side effects of leukemia chemotherapy, and 1 survived with disease. Conclusion: The incidence rate of Swyer syndrome in patients with MGCT-NDG is about 4.9%; timely diagnosis and bilateral gonadectomy should be emphasized to reduce the risk of reoperation and second carcinogenesis in this population.

Undetectable anti-Mullerian hormone and inhibin B do not preclude the presence of germ cell tumours in 45,X/46,XY or 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis.

OBJECTIVE: Individuals with 45,X/46,XY or 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis are at increased risk of germ cell malignancies. Therefore, prophylactic bilateral gonadectomy is advised in girls and considered in boys with atypical genitalia for undescended, macroscopically abnormal gonads. However, severely dysgenetic gonads may not contain germ cells rendering gonadectomy unnecessary. Therefore, we investigate if undetectable preoperative serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and inhibin B can predict the absence of germ cells, (pre)malignant or otherwise. DESIGN, PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS: Individuals who had undergone bilateral gonadal biopsy and/or gonadectomy because of suspected gonadal dysgenesis in 1999-2019 were included in this retrospective study if preoperative AMH and/or inhibin B were available. Histological material was reviewed by an experienced pathologist. Haematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical stainings for SOX9, OCT4, TSPY and SCF (KITL) were used. RESULTS: Thirteen males and 16 females were included, 20 with 46,XY and 9 with 45,X/46,XY DSD. Three females had dysgerminoma alongside gonadoblastoma; two gonadoblastoma, one germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS) and three males had pre-GCNIS and/or pre-gonadoblastoma. Gonadoblastoma and/or dysgerminoma were present in 3/11 individuals with undetectable AMH and inhibin B, one of whom also had non-(pre)malignant germ cells. Of the other 18, in whom AMH and/or inhibin B were detectable, only one had no germ cells. CONCLUSIONS: Undetectable serum AMH and inhibin B cannot reliably predict the absence of germ cells and germ cell tumours in individuals with 45,X/46,XY or 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis. This information should help in counselling about prophylactic gonadectomy, taking into account both the germ cell cancer risk and potential for gonadal function.

Yolk sac tumor and dysgerminoma in the left gonad following gonadoblastoma in the right gonad in a 46,XY DSD with a novel SRY missense mutation: a case report.

BACKGROUND: Approximately 10-15% of 46,XY disorders of sex development (DSDs) have an SRY mutation residing in the high mobility group (HMG) domain. Here, we present a case of 46,XY DSD caused by a novel missense mutation in the HMG region of SRY rapidly progressing to germ cell tumors (GCTs). CASE PRESENTATION: An adolescent female (15 years old) exhibiting primary amenorrhea was later diagnosed as a 46,XY female with bilateral gonadal dysplasia on the basis of peripheral lymphocyte karyotype 46,XY and a novel missense mutation in SRY (c.281 T > G, p.L94R). The novel missense mutation (c.281 T > G, p.L94R) and its adjacent region were conserved. Protein structure analysis showed that the mutant site was located in the middle of the HMG domain, and the mutant protein had a diminished ability to bind to DNA. Imaging examination revealed an adolescent female with a naive uterus. Laparoscopy and initial pathological examination revealed left gonadal dysplasia and right gonadal dysplasia with gonadoblastoma (GB). Right gonadectomy by laparoscopy was performed upon consent from the patient's parents. Less than 1 year postoperatively, the left gonadal gland deteriorated as observed by the findings of a mass in the left adnexal region by pelvic MRI and serum AFP > 1000 ng/ml by serological tests, and then total hysterectomy and adnexal and left gonadectomy by laparoscopy were performed. The GCT stage was classified as stage Ic according to FIGO. At this time, pathologic examination showed that the left gonad had progressed to yolk sac tumor and dysgerminoma. The patient underwent chemotherapy post-operatively but developed type III myelosuppression and tumor recurrence several months later. CONCLUSIONS: The patient initially presented with right gonadoblastoma but chose only right gonadectomy by laparoscopy to preserve the female sex characteristics, which resulted in rapid deterioration of the left gonad and poor treatment outcomes. This case demonstrates the importance of early genetic diagnosis and treatment of 46,XY female DSD.

[Gonadal neoplastic related lesions in children with disorders of sexual development: a clinicopathological study of twelve cases].

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features of gonadal neoplastic related lesions in children with disorders of sexual development (DsD). Methods: The clinical manifestations, chromosomal karyotype, histology and immunophenotype of 12 cases of neoplastic related lesions from Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou were analyzed during Jan 2015 to May 2020. Results: Twelve cases of neoplastic related lesions were screened in 205 cases of DsD, and 6 patients with gonadal germ cell neoplasia aged 3-13 years with an average age of 8.3 years. There were 2 males and 4 females. Clinical features showed malformation of external genitalia in 2 cases, short stature in 2 cases, clitoral enlargement in 1 case, lower abdominal pain and a huge pelvic mass in 1 case. Chromosomal karyotyping of peripheral blood showed 2 cases of 46XY and 4 cases of 45X/46XY. Fourteen gonadal specimens were examined. Microscopically, 1 case showed dysgerminoma in left ovary, and malignant mixed germ cell tumors in right ovary, as well as gonadoblastoma (GB) and undifferentiated gonadal tissue (UGT). The remaining 5 cases were all precursor lesions of germ cell tumor. Six specimens showed GB, 3 of UGT, and 3 specimens showed germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS), one of which was accompanied by intratubular seminoma and 1 was GB with GCNIS. The other 6 patients with DsD were aged from 8 months to 2 years and 5 months, including 5 males and 1 females. Clinical manifestations showed 5 cases of hypospadias and 1 case of bilateral indirect inguinal hernia. Microscopically, 6 cases showed maturation delay of gonocytes in seminiferous tubules. Immunohistochemically, the primordial germ cells/gonocytes expressed OCT3/4, PLAP and c-KIT in the 12 cases. Conclusion: Gonadal neoplasia in children with DsD is mainly precursor lesions of germ cell tumor and improved understanding of these lesions is of great significance.

Increased risk of gonadal malignancy and prophylactic gonadectomy: a study of 102 phenotypic female patients with Y chromosome or Y-derived sequences.

STUDY QUESTION: What is the optimal protocol of management for phenotypic female patients with Y chromosome or Y-derived sequences, in particular for adult patients? SUMMARY ANSWER: Immediate gonadectomy, long-term hormone therapy and psychological care are suggested to be the optimal management for older phenotypic female patients with Y chromosome or Y-derived sequences. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Phenotypic female patients with Y chromosome or Y-derived sequences are at increasing risk of developing gonadal tumors with age. Early diagnosis and safe guidelines of management for these patients are needed. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: One hundred and two phenotypic women with Y chromosome or Y-derived sequences were included in a straightforward, retrospective-observational study conducted over a period of 26 years from January 1985 to November 2010. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING AND METHODS: Patients aged 16-34 years presenting to our Academic Department of Gynecology with symptoms of disorders of sex development were subjected to history taking, hormonal evaluation, conventional cytogenetic analysis, PCR, histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Features of the gonads were examined and the outcome of prophylactic gonadectomy evaluated. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: Among the patients recruited in our study, 48 patients (47.1%) were diagnosed with complete/partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS/PAIS) (46XY), 33 cases (32.4%) with gonadal dysgenesis (46XY) and the remaining subjects (20.1%) with mixed gonadal dysgenesis (with sex chromosome structural abnormalities). The total incidence of malignancy was 17.6%. Seventeen patients (16.7%) had gonadoblastoma, while one patient (1.0%) with gonadal dysgenesis had dysgerminoma. Gonadoblastoma were observed in 2/21 patients with sex chromosome structural abnormalities (9.5%), 3/33 patients with gonadal dysgenesis (9.1%), 9/30 patients with CAIS (30.0%) and 3/18 patients with PAIS (16.7%). LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: Selection bias in this cohort study may affect data interpretation due to the low incidence of disorders of sex development in the general population. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: The risk for malignant transformation may occur in early life and highly increase with age in patients with Y chromosome or Y-derived sequences. Optimal timing of gonadectomy should be decided by multiple factors including the subgroup of disorder, age and degree of patient's maturity. In addition, gonadal biopsy is suggested when the disease is diagnosed and any evidence of premalignancy warranties gonadectomy.

Endometriosis in a Prepubertal Patient with 46,XY Difference in Sex Development: A Case Report.

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis typically presents in postmenarchal patients with cyclic and acyclic pelvic pain. However, there are reports of endometriosis in premenarchal patients. CASE: We report a 10-year-old individual with 46,XY difference of sex development who was found to have endometriosis at the time of laparoscopic gonadectomy for gonadoblastoma. CONCLUSIONS: Although rare, endometriosis can occur in 46,XY individuals prior to puberty, highlighting the complex origin of the disease.

Pure 46, XY gonadal dysgenesis and 46, XY complete androgen insensitivity syndrome: A case report.

BACKGROUND: Disorders of sex development (DSD) are congenital conditions characterized by atypical development of chromosomal, gonadal, and phenotypic sex. 46, XY DSD can result from disorders of testicular development or androgen synthesis. METHODS: We present 2 rare cases of 46, XY DSD, specifically XY pure gonadal dysgenesis and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. RESULTS: Both cases underwent prophylactic gonadectomy due to the elevated risk of gonadal malignancy. Bilateral gonadoblastoma and dysgerminoma were diagnosed on one side, while Leydig cell hyperplasia and only Sertoli cells were diagnosed in the seminiferous tubules on both sides. The normal menstruation for the pure gonadal dysgenesis patient only as CAIS patients never menstruate. Estrogen replacement therapy was administered periodically to promote the development of secondary sexual characteristics and menstruation in pure gonadal dysgenesis case, as well as to prevent osteoporosis. Follow-up examinations revealed no tumor recurrence, and the patient with Swyer syndrome had regular menstrual cycles. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic bilateral prophylactic gonadectomy and long-term hormone therapy with patient counseling and support are recommended.

SRY-positive 45,X/46,XY karyotype in a phenotypically Turner-like Chinese adolescent female with ovarian dysgerminoma and gonadoblastoma.

OBJECTIVES: 45,X/46,XY mosaicism is a rare condition with clinical and genetic heterogeneity and have a greatly increased risk of developing germ cell tumors. We describe a rare 45,X/46,XY Chinese girl with malignant tumors, especially focusing on the molecular genetics of gonadal tumor. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a phenotypically Turner-like Chinese adolescent girl who presented primary amenorrhea and a pelvic mass as the chief complaint, which finally demonstrated dysgerminoma replacing the left gonad and gonadoblastoma arising from right gonad respectively. Her chromosome karyotype was 45,X(4)/46,XY(46); Y-chromosome microdeletions in AZFb regions were found on gonadal DNA rather than peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) DNA, while no variants were found in the promoter and coding region of SRY gene in both PBL and gonadal tissues. She underwent bilateral gonadectomy; no recurrence or serious complications were identified after 3 years of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: This case emphasizes the probable correlation between Y chromosome microdeletions in gonadal tissue and the severity of the phenotype in patients with 45,X/46,XY mosaicism and highlights the importance of clinical genetic testing at the chromosomal and molecular level.

XY gonadal dysgenesis--development of a germ cell tumor: case report.

Gonadal dysgenesis (GD) is a rare congenital malformation that affects about one in 3,000 births. The authors present a case of a 17-year-old woman with primary amenorrhea and poor breast development. They conducted a laparoscopic surgery and bilaterally removed hypoplastic streak gonads. Histopathology of the ovaries revealed bilateral streak gonads with gonadoblastomas and a right-sided dysgerminoma.

Deferring gonadectomy in patients with turner syndrome with a genetic Y component is not a safe practice.

INTRODUCTION: Patients with Turner syndrome who harbor Y chromosome material are known to be at increased risk of developing germ cell neoplasms. The optimal timing to perform gonadectomy to reduce the risk of cancer development in these patients is not well defined. We present outcomes of Turner with a Y component (TSY) patients who underwent gonadectomy at our institution. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that tumors could occur in a significant portion of TSY patients at any age and gonadectomy can be safely performed at diagnosis rather than deferred. STUDY DESIGN: We performed an IRB-approved retrospective single center study in which we queried our institutions electronic health record to identify all patients with TSY who underwent gonadectomy at our institution from 2012 to 2021. RESULTS: In our series of 18 consecutive TSY patients, a tumor was identified in 6 patients (33.3%): 4 (22.2%) with dysgerminoma (DG) [Fig. 1] and 2 (11.1%) with gonadoblastoma (GB). DISCUSSION: Our cohort of 18 consecutive TSY who underwent gonadectomy over a 9-year period is the largest published single site cohort to date. Additionally, our patient who was found to have GB at 40 days is to our knowledge the youngest TSY patient to be diagnosed with GB in the literature. This patient's remarkably early incidence of tumor occurrence illustrates the urgency of protective gonadectomy. Given the high incidence of tumor formation in this population and the minimal morbidity associated with gonadectomy, we do not recommend delaying gonadectomy in this population for any reason. Our study is vulnerable to selection bias and confounding innate to any retrospective study. There was variation with respect to the frequency and timing of pre-operative imaging as a strict preoperative imaging protocol with sequential studies was not in place at our institution. Additionally, we do not have a comparison cohort of patients who are being followed without operative intervention as all TSY patients at our institution have undergone gonadectomy. CONCLUSION: TSY patients cannot be safely observed for tumor formation based on clinical factors such as imaging or age. Gonadectomy is safe with a low complication rate and without tumor recurrence during three-year follow-up. We continue to recommend bilateral gonadectomy in this patient population at the time of diagnosis.

[Features of pubescence in patients with pure gonadal dysgenesis in the course of a hormonally active tumor--case report]. / Cechy dojrzewania plciowego u pacjentek z czysta dysgenezja gonad w przebiegu hormonalnie czynnego guza--opis przypadków.

Germ cell tumors are the most frequent ovarian neoplasms among girls and young women under the age of 25. Female patients with gonadal dysgenesis are at higher risk of germ cell tumors. Two cases of women with pure gonadal dysgenesis were described. A hormonally active tumor secreting estrogens, caused the development of sexual features and genital tract bleeding what imitated premature puberty. It needs to be emphasized that the presence of sexual features does not exclude dysgenesis - a pathology that is connected with an increased risk of gonadal tumors--and that the ultrasound evaluation, during which the presence of follicles in gonads is evaluated, is essential.

[Human chorionic gonadotropin-secreting gonadoblastomas in a girl of 45, X Turner syndrome: a case report and literature review].

Objective: To summarize the experience in diagnosis and treatment of 45, X Turner syndrome (TS) with gonadal Y chromosome mosaicism and bilateral gonadoblastoma (Gb) secreting human chorionic gonadotrophin(HCG). Methods: A female patient aged 5 years and 3 months was admitted to the hospital with a complaint of "enlarged breasts for 27 months, and elevated blood ß-HCG for 8 months". The clinical data were summarized, and related literature up to March 2022 with the key words"Turner syndrome" "Gonadoblastoma" "Y chromosome" "human chorionic gonadotropin" "precocious" in PubMed, CNKI and Wanfang databases were reviewed. Results: The girl went to the local hospital for 2-month breast development at age of 3 years, and was found with a heart murmur diagnosed with "pulmonary venous malformation and atrial septal defect (secondary foramen type)". Surgical correction was performed. She experienced the progressive breast development, rapid linear growth and markedly advanced skeletal age, which cannot be explained by partial activation in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis determined at the age of 3 years and 7 months in local hospital. Then whole-exome sequencing revealed chromosome number abnormality 45, X, which was confirmed by Karyotyping. At the age of 4 years and 6 months, serum ß-HCG was found to be elevated (24.9 U/L) with no lesion found at the local hospital. On physical examination, she was found with breast development, pubic hair development and clitoromegaly with elevated serum testosterone (1.96 µg/L) and ß-HCG (32.3 U/L). Sex determining region Y(SRY) gene was negative in peripheral blood sample. Thoracic and abdominal CT, head and pelvic magnetic resonance imaging were normal. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed the presence of a left adnexal tumor and a right fibrous streak gonad. During surgery, simultaneous samples of bilateral gonadal and peripheral venous blood were obtained and serum ß-HCG, estradiol and testosteron concentrations was higher to lower from left gonadal venous blood, right gonadal venous blood, to peripheral venous blood. Bilateral gonadectomy was performed. Histopathology revealed bilateral gonadoblastomas. SRY was positive in bilateral gonadal tissues. After surgery, serum E2, testerone and ß-HCG returned to normal. So far 4 cases of HCG-secreting gonadoblastoma had been reported worldwide. The phenotypes of the 4 cases were all female, with virilization or amenorrhea, and the preoperative peripheral blood ß-HCG concentrations were 74.4, 5.0, 40 456.0, and 42.4 U/L, respectively. Conclusions: There is a high risk of Gb in TS with Y chromosome components. Gb is infrequently presented with breast development, and Gb associated with HCG secretion is rare. Karyotyping should be performed in a phenotypic female with masculinization, and virilization in TS indicates the presence of Y chromosome material with concurrent androgen secreting tumors.

Adnexal Torsion Due to Borderline Mucinous Tumor of the Gonad in a Prepubertal Girl with Mixed Gonadal Dysgenesis (45,X/46,XY) and a Turner Phenotype.

BACKGROUND: Turner syndrome (TS) is a sex chromosome condition characterized by complete or partial loss of the X chromosome. Patients with mixed gonadal dysgenesis (45,X/46,XY) and a Turner phenotype are predisposed to gonadoblastoma with malignant transformation. CASE: We present the case of a TS patient with 45,X/46,XY with 2 episodes of left adnexal torsion (AT). Biopsies during detorsion showed benign mucinous cystadenoma. Pathology following bilateral gonadectomy revealed a left gonad with mucinous borderline tumor and right gonad with gonadoblastoma, both of which have malignant potential. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION: Gonadectomy is recommended in XY gonadal dysgenesis to decrease risk of malignant transformation from gonadoblastoma. Although rare in pediatric patients, ovarian malignancies have been identified among AT cases. To our knowledge, we present the first case of AT due to borderline ovarian mucinous tumor of the ovary and contralateral gonadoblastoma in a patient with mixed gonadal dysgenesis (45,X/46,XY) and a Turner phenotype.

Bilateral ovarian gonadoblastoma with coexisting dysgerminoma in a girl with 46, XX karyotype.

Gonadoblastoma is a rare gonadal tumor with tumor cells arranged in nests surrounded by ovarian stroma containing Leydig or lutein-type cells. In 50% of the cases, there is an overgrowth of germ cells with progression to dysgerminoma. A case of gonadoblastoma with coexisting dysgerminoma developing in both ovaries of a 20-year-old girl who had increased abdominal girth is presented here. A pelvic mass measuring 20 x 14 cm was detected by pelvic ultrasonography. Bilateral salphingo-oophorectomy was performed. The histopathological report revealed bilateral gonadoblastoma with coexisting dysgerminoma. After surgery the patient received radiation and chemotherapy (BEP: bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin) and was started on hormone replacement therapy. Five years and eight months after treatment, the patient is well and free of recurrence.

Turner Syndrome with Y Chromosome: Spontaneous Thelarche, Menarche, and Risk of Malignancy.

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Girls with Turner syndrome with Y-chromosome material (TS + Y) are assumed to have nonfunctional gonads with increased tumor risk, therefore prophylactic gonadectomy is recommended at diagnosis. In this study we aimed to determine rates of spontaneous thelarche (ST) and spontaneous menarche (SM), and prevalence of gonadal tumor and malignancy in girls with TS + Y, to further inform discussions about gonadectomy. DESIGN: Retrospective review of clinical and pathology data. SETTING: Multicenter study involving 4 United States children's hospitals. PARTICIPANTS: Patients included those with a genetically proven diagnosis of TS + Y and phenotypically female genitourinary exam. INTERVENTIONS: Demographic characteristics, pubertal development, and gonadal pathology data were abstracted from clinical records. Data for ST were analyzed for patients aged 13 years and older and SM for patients older than 15 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ST, SM, prevalence of gonadal tumor, and malignancy. RESULTS: Forty-four patients met inclusion criteria. Nineteen patients were 13 years or older; 8/19 (42%) had ST and reached Tanner stages 2-4 and 2 (11%) had normal ovarian pathology. Nineteen patients were 15 years or older; 2/19 (11%) had SM. Thirty-seven patients underwent gonadectomy; 35 had available pathology results. Gonadoblastoma was identified in 35/7 patients (19%), 1 in situ germ cell neoplasia, and 1 dysgerminoma (3%). One patient with bilateral gonadoblastoma had ST and SM. CONCLUSION: In this multicenter cohort, 42% of girls with TS + Y entered puberty spontaneously and 11% had SM, supportive of gonadal function. Risk of tumor was similar to previous reports. To achieve informed decision-making, discussions about gonadectomy should incorporate potential for gonadal function and tumor risk.

46, XY complete gonadal dysgenesis with pubertal virilisation due to dysgerminoma/gonadoblastoma.

Complete gonadal dysgenesis (CGD) or Swyer syndrome is characterised by sexual infantilism in a phenotypic female with 46, XY karyotype. Patients with gonadal dysgenesis and Y-chromosome material are at a high risk of developing gonadoblastoma and dysgerminoma. A 16-year-old girl presented with progressive virilisation, poor breast development and primary amenorrhea. On evaluation, she was found to have male-range serum testosterone, large abdominopelvic mass lesion, elevated germ cell tumour markers and 46, XY karyotype. She underwent surgical excision of left gonadal mass and right streak gonad, histopathology of which revealed dysgerminoma and gonadoblastoma, respectively. A diagnosis of virilising germ cell tumour arising in the setting of 46, XY CGD was, therefore, made. This case highlights a rare presentation of 46, XY CGD and the need to consider early prophylactic gonadectomy in patients affected with this rare condition. The presence of dysgerminoma/gonadoblastoma should be suspected if a hitherto phenotypic female with CGD undergoes virilisation.

Seminoma In A Young Phenotypic Female With Turner Syndrome 45,XO/46,XY Mosaicism: A Case Report With Review Of The Literature.

Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that occurs in an estimated 1 in 2500 female live births. It is estimated that 6%-12% of all Turner syndrome patients will be a mosaic with Y-chromosomal elements putting them at risk for gonadoblastoma and subsequent dysgerminoma. While 30%-50% of this population demonstrate gonadoblastoma, we only found 23 reported cases of dysgerminoma in the literature, and no reported cases of seminoma. We present the first case of seminoma in a phenotypic Turner 15-year-old female after prophylactic gonadectomy.
