Anogenital distance in a cohort of 169 infant boys with uni- or bilateral cryptorchidism including 18 boys with vanishing testes.

STUDY QUESTION: Do different boys with different types of cryptorchidism exhibit different anogenital distances (AGDs)? SUMMARY ANSWER: Length of AGD seemed to differ in different groups of patients with cryptorchidism. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: AGD, which is used as an indicator of prenatal androgen action, tends to be shorter in boys with cryptorchidism compared to unaffected boys. Shorter AGDs have also been reported in boys with hypospadias, in men with poor semen quality, and in men with testicular cancer. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: A prospective descriptive cohort study was performed using data from consecutively selected boys with cryptorchidism (n = 169) operated in a single center over a period of 3 years (September 2019 to October 2022). PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: AGD was measured in 169 infant boys, at 3 to 26 months of age, during anesthesia with a vernier caliper measuring the distance from the anus to the base of the scrotum (AGDAS) and from the anus to the anterior base of the penis (AGDAP) in two body positions according to the methods by 'The Infant Development and the Environment Study' (TIDES) and 'Cambridge Baby Growth Study', resulting in four mean values per patient (TIDES AGDAS/AP and Cambridge AGDAS/AP). Normal values for AGD by age were set by our hospital Department of Growth and Reproduction based on a large cohort of healthy infant boys (n = 1940). Testicular biopsies were performed at orchidopexy as a clinical routine. The germ cell number (G/T) and type Ad spermatogonia number (AdS/T) per cross-sectional tubule of at least 100 and 250 tubules, respectively were measured and related to normal samples. Blood samples were obtained by venipuncture for measuring serum LH, FSH, and inhibin B. They were analyzed in our hospital Department of Growth and Reproduction where the normal reference was also established. Correlations between the four mean AGD measurements for each boy were evaluated by Spearman rank correlation analyses. The AGD measurement of every boy was transferred to the multiple of the median (MoM) of the normal AGD for age and named MoM AGD. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: There were 104 boysoperated for unilateral, and 47 boys operated for bilateral, undescended testes, whereas 18 boys had vanished testis including one boy with bilateral vanished testes. Only 6% of cases with vanished testes had a MoM AGD higher than the normal median compared to 32% with undescended testes (P < 0.05). MoM AGD increased with the age at surgery for boys with vanished testis (Spearman r = 0.44), but not for boys with undescended testes (Spearman r = 0.14). Boys with bilateral cryptorchidism had longer AGDs and more often had hypogonadotropic hypogonadism than boys with unilateral cryptorchidism (P < 0.005) and (P < 0.000001). LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: Although being the largest published material of AGD measurements of infant boys with cryptorchidism, one limitation of this study covers the quite small number of patients in the different groups, which may decrease the statistical power. Another limitation involves the sparse normal reference material on G/T and AdS/T. Finally, there are currently no longitudinal studies evaluating AGD from birth to adulthood and evaluating childhood AGD in relation to fertility outcome. Our study is hypothesis generating and therefore the interpretation of the results should be regarded as exploratory rather than reaching definite conclusions. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: The study findings are in agreement with literature as the total included group of boys with cryptorchidism exhibited shorter than normal AGDs. However, new insights were demonstrated. Boys with vanished testis had shorter AGDs compared to unaffected boys and to boys with undescended testes. This finding challenges the current concept of AGD being determined in 'the masculinization programming window' in Week 8 to 14 of gestation. Furthermore, boys with bilateral cryptorchidism had longer AGDs and more often had hypogonadotropic hypogonadism than boys with unilateral cryptorchidism, suggesting that the lack of fetal androgen in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is not that significant. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S): No external funding was used and no competing interests are declared. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: The trial was not registered in an ICMJE-recognized trial registry.

[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.

Hormone profiles of the African pygmy mouse Mus minutoides, a species with XY female sex reversal.

In mammals, most sex differences in phenotype are controlled by gonadal hormones, but recent work on transgenic mice has shown that sex chromosomes can have a direct influence on sex-specific behaviors. In this study, we take advantage of the naturally occurring sex reversal in a mouse species, Mus minutoides, to investigate for the first time the relationship between sex chromosomes, hormones, and behaviors in a wild species. In this model, a feminizing variant of the X chromosome, named X*, produces three types of females with different sex chromosome complements (XX, XX*, and X*Y), associated with alternative behavioral phenotypes, while all males are XY. We thus compared the levels of three major circulating steroid hormones (testosterone, corticosterone, and estradiol) in the four sex genotypes to disentangle the influence of sex chromosomes and sex hormones on behavior. First, we did not find any difference in testosterone levels in the three female genotypes, although X*Y females are notoriously more aggressive. Second, in agreement with their lower anxiety-related behaviors, X*Y females and XY males display lower baseline corticosterone concentration than XX and XX* females. Instead of a direct hormonal influence, this result rather suggests that sex chromosomes may have an impact on the baseline corticosterone level, which in turn may influence behaviors. Third, estradiol concentrations do not explain the enhanced reproductive performance and maternal care behavior of the X*Y females compared to the XX and XX* females. Overall, this study highlights that most of the behaviors varying along with sex chromosome complement of this species are more likely driven by genetic factors rather than steroid hormone concentrations.

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 Perplexing Case of a Germ Cell Tumor: A Case Report.

Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are associated with pure gonadal dysgenesis or Swyer syndrome. Swyer syndrome usually presents with primary amenorrhea, streak ovaries, and mixed GCT. However, our patient presented with secondary amenorrhea, normal female external genitalia, and a mixed GCT. Constitutional karyotype was suggestive of 46,XY. Management comprised chemotherapy, followed by surgery. Histopathology was suggestive of dysgerminoma complicating a gonadoblastoma. The purpose of reporting this case is its rarity and the importance of diagnosing an XY karyotype, as the incidence of GCTs is higher in these patients.

Mini review: Breast cancer care in individuals with differences of sexual development.

Disorders or differences of sexual development encompasses an important group of conditions that affects up to 1 in 5,000 live births. Many individuals living in the female gender includes Turner syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia and conditions with 46XY karyotype such as gonadal dysgenesis (Swyer syndrome). Individuals are commenced on high dose oestrogen to initiate and maintain development of secondary sexual characteristics such as breasts which is paramount in them identifying in the female gender. We highlight the first case of a patient with Swyer syndrome who was treated with long term oestrogen therapy and later developed breast cancer. In individuals with gonadal dysgenesis, testicular malignancy is a recognised risk and is screened for. Prolonged exposure to exogenous and endogenous hormones can increase the risk of breast cancer however how much this risk increases in those taking high dose hormones is not documented in the literature. We aim to highlight the importance of breast cancer treatment and surgical reconstruction in this group and whether they should be considered for early breast cancer screening. CONCLUSION: It is imperative that triple assessment is undertaken in every patient with a breast lump, regardless of gender identification. Clinicians must not delay investigations in this patient group due to a misunderstanding of their condition. Those on long term hormone supplementation should be entered into the breast screening program at an earlier age with Magnetic Resonance Imaging surveillance. Careful consideration of post treatment endocrine therapy is required and under the care of the multi-disciplinary team.

Swyer Syndrome Presenting as Dysgerminoma: A Case Report.

Complete gonadal dysgenesis with 46,XY karyotype is a clinical condition characterized by the absence of testicular tissue but with the presence of typical Müllerian structures in a phenotypically female individual. The condition presents as primary amenorrhoea or delayed puberty. Eventually, malignant neoplasms may arise. We report a case of a 16-year-old Indian male with Swyer syndrome presenting with primary amenorrhoea and with an earlier diagnosis of a malignant dysgerminoma in the right ovary.

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.

Late Diagnosis of Swyer Syndrome in a Patient with Bilateral Germ Cell Tumor Treated with a Contraceptive Due to Primary Amenorrhea.

Swyer syndrome is a special form of DSD (disorders of sex development), so-called pure gonadal dysgenesis with a karyotype 46, XY and a female phenotype. One of the most important problems in patients with DSD is the risk of gonadal tumors. We present a case of a 26-year-old patient with Swyer syndrome. The patient had primary amenorrhea and no puberty characteristics. In ultrasound imaging in the vicinity of the uterus, there were two homogeneous structures. A genetic diagnosis was also performed, which showed karyotype 46, XY. The patient underwent a bilateral gonadectomy. Histopathological examination revealed the presence of dysgerminoma in both dysgenetic gonads. The follow-up of five years now did not show any changes suspected of invasion. We concluded that the primary amenorrhea, along with the absence of development of sexual characteristics, should prompt an expanded diagnosis for disorders of sex development. Gonadal dysgerminoma should be suspected even in the absence of tumor features on ultrasound and blood laboratory tests. Early prophylactic gonadectomy could protect patients from developing tumors in dysgenetic gonads.

NR5A1-related 46,XY partial gonadal dysgenesis: A case report and literature review.

RATIONALE: Disorders/differences of sex development (DSD) include a diverse group of congenital conditions in which the development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex is discordant. It involves several variant genes, and one of them is NR5A1. NR5A1 encodes a signal transduction regulator in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal pathway, and pathogenic mutation in this gene is a cause of 46,XY DSD. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 12-year-old individual raised as a girl was admitted to the hospital due to hirsutism and a deep voice that began at 11 years old. The individual exhibited testicular hypoplasia, clitoral hypertrophy, and female external genitalia. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed 46,XY partial gonadal dysgenesis. The cytogenetics revealed a 46,XY karyotype and DNA sequencing shown a variant in NR5A1. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging showed absence of uterus and ovaries. The abdominopelvic ultrasound revealed bilateral testicle in bilateral groin. Pathology confirmed testes dysgenesis. INTERVENTIONS: The patient underwent bilateral orchiectomy at age 12 years and was given a feminizing hormonal treatment of 0.5 mg/day of estradiol valerate tablets. OUTCOMES: The patient recovered well after surgery and hormonal treatment and had a regression in hirsutism and clitoromegaly. LESSONS: 46,XY DSD is a rare disease that the development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex is discordant, when diagnosed 46,XY DSD, the identification of an NR5A1 variant should be considered.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Developing in a Patient with 46, XY Pure Gonadal Dysgenesis (Swyer Syndrome) with Malignant Gonadal Germ Cell Tumor: A Case Report and Literature Review.

A female phenotype with strip-like gonads, 46, XY pure gonadal dysgenesis (PGD) has a high tendency to develop into gonadal germ cell tumors. We described one patient with 46, XY PGD, who had a gonadal mixed germ cell tumor (GCT) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This is a unique case because two malignancies developed and relapsed in one person with chromosome abnormality, and the patient is the youngest reported so far. There is an association between her GCT and ALL, as the two malignancies may share a common clonal origin and the NRAS mutation likely plays a role in tumor genesis. We organized MDT to formulate a suitable plan of treatment. We completed the surgery and full cycles of chemotherapy for GCT and controlled ALL by chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. However, unfortunately, the young life finally ended following a rare transplant rejection. We concluded that ALL likely shares common clonal origin with GCT and that gene mutations may play a role in neoplasia, which requires further exploration. In the face of such complex conditions, we need to balance the treatment of both diseases to prolong survival and improve the patients' quality of life.

Challenges in the Diagnosis of XY Differences of Sexual Development.

Background: We report the clinical case of female patient with 46,XY difference of sexual development (DSD) and discuss the challenges in the differential diagnosis between complete gonadal dysgenesis (also called Swyer syndrome) and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. Case Presentation: The patient's with primary amenorrhea gynaecological examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed the absence of the uterus and a very short vagina. Two sclerotic structures, similar to ovaries, were recognised bilaterally in the iliac regions. Hormonal assay tests revealed hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and the testosterone level was above normal. The karyotype was 46,XY and a diagnosis of Swyer syndrome was made. At the age of 41, the patient underwent a gynaecological review and after evaluating her tests and medical history, the previous diagnosis was questioned. Therefore, a molecular analysis of sex-determining region Y (SRY) and androgen receptor (AR) genes was made and the results instead led to a definite diagnosis of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome. Conclusions: The presented case illustrates that differentiating between complete gonadal dysgenesis and complete androgen insensitivity can be challenging. A well-established diagnosis is crucial because the risk of malignancy is different in those two syndromes, as well as the timing and importance of gonadectomy.

46, XY Disorders of Sexual Development: a case report and theoretical framework.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Disorders of sexual differentiation (DSD) with karyotype 46,XY include gonadal developmental differences such as complete gonadal dysgenesis, partial gonadal dysgenesis, testicular regression and ovotesticular sexual differentiation disorder, differences in androgen synthesis or action, such as androgen synthesis deficiency, androgen action deficits, LH receptor deficiency, AMH synthesis or action deficits, and other conditions such as severe hypospadias, cloaca estrophy, etc. Methods: A 17 years-old girl came to our attention for hirsutism, clitoral hypertrophy, primary amenorrhea, and bilateral mammary hypoplasia. According to clinical features and anamnesis, the diagnosis of 46, XY DSD was made. For diagnostic purposes, she underwent an extensive genetic analysis, hormone dosage and instrumental examinations. After a clitoridoplasty and hormone replacement treatment, the patient performs appropriate multidisciplinary follow-up and regular psychotherapy. RESULTS: The clinical case reported falls, according to the recent classification developed by the Chicago Consensus, within the scope of DSD with karyotype 46, XY. About 160 cases of patients with 17ß-HSD3 deficiency, diagnosed at a mean age of 12 years, are described in the literature, most of them coming from Western Asia and Europe and only three cases from Eastern Asia. Clinically, about 30% of patients showed virilization, 20% clitoromegaly, ambiguous genitalia, inguinal/labial mass, 16% primary amenorrhea, and 5% absence of mammary development, features that are partly traced in the case described here. CONCLUSIONS: This case underscores the complexity of managing individuals with DSD. Having acquired the concept that irreversible surgery should be avoided, except in cases where failure to do so would determine health risks, the primary objective of the medical decision lies in meeting conditions aimed at harmonious sexual identification, especially regarding sexual activity and fertility, involving a team of experienced professionals (psychologists, pediatricians, surgeons, endocrinologists, radiologists), capable of promptly identifying suggestive clinical signs.

Non-obvious diagnosis and breast development in pure gonadal dysgenesis.

Pure gonadal dysgenesis is a situation when the karyotype is 46, XY, but for various reasons there is a disorder of differentiation of Wolffian and Mullerian structures and in consequence the phenotype is female. It is known that abdominal gonads and the presence of Y chromosome allow to qualify this condition as a high risk of tumor. In most cases breast development is limited because of lack or low level of estrogen. A 27-year-old patient with differences of sexual development (DSD), was admitted to the Department of Endocrinological Gynecology for a control examination. In the history: dysgerminoma, primary amenorrhea and ambiguous karyotype. The patient has not taken hormonal replacement therapy. The breast development is Tanner stage V.

A Successful New Case of Twin Pregnancy in a Patient with Swyer Syndrome-An Up-to-Date Review on the Incidence and Outcome of Twin/Multiple Gestations in the Pure 46,XY Gonadal Dysgenesis.

BACKGROUND: The aim of the present study is to report a rare occurrence of a successful twin pregnancy in a woman with pure 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis. RESULT(S): A patient with Swyer syndrome (pure 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis) presented with a twin pregnancy after in vitro fertilization. Due to unidentified conditions, the patient developed selective intrauterine growth restriction in one of the fetuses. Twins were born at 33 weeks of pregnancy due to the risk of asphyxia. Nonetheless, the patient did not develop gonadal malignancies before the pregnancy and, despite receiving estrogen, remained amenorrheic. CONCLUSION(S): The aim of this case report is to show the course of twin pregnancy in patients with Swyer syndrome through assisted reproduction. Due to certain disorders in the development of their reproductive organs, such as the less mature uterus, such pregnancies may be associated with an increased risk. The above case report demonstrates the need to systematize methods of pregnancy management in patients with Swyer syndrome, such as: preparation for the pregnancy, assessment of the uterus, medications used, and necessary checkups. Capsule: This case report and review shows clinicians that patients with Swyer syndrome may become pregnant. Twin pregnancies may occur without any major problems through assisted reproduction.

Pattern of Male Hypogonadism and Outcome of Treatment in South Rajasthan.

Male reproductive functions are governed by hypothalamic pituitary testicular axis. If any component of this axis malfunctions, then hypogonadism will develop which is characterized by ill-defined secondary sexual features and low serum testosterone. The common patterns seen are primary and secondary testicular failure in the young; and late onset hypogonadism in the elderly. All such cases can be virilized and managed by androgen supplementation. Spermatogenesis can be induced by use of appropriate gonadotropins in selected cases. The aim of the study was to find out the pattern, management and outcome of male hypogonadism. MATERIAL: It was a prospective questionnaire based observational study, carried out on infertile hypogonadic males, attending medicine outdoor at medical college hospital from January 2015 to December 2020. There were 50 males with hypogonadic features, cases of late onset of hypogonadism were excluded. Sexual maturity rating, semen analysis, serum testosterone and FSH level were estimated in all patients at baseline and at 6 months duration of treatment. Testicular biopsy, Karyotyping and MRI brain were performed in selected cases. Azoospermic patients having hypogonadotropic hypogonadism were treated with long-acting testosterones and gonadotropins. OBSERVATION: The study subjects were infertile azoospermic males. On the basis of serum FSH and testosterone levels, they were classified into two groups. Group A (n=42) cases were hypergonadotropic hypogonadism or primary testicular failure; of these 32 were Klinefelter syndrome (XXY), 7 chronic orchitis and 3 empty scrotal syndrome including one case of anorchia. These patients also developed other systemic illnesses in addition to hypogonadism. Group B (n=8) hypogonadotropic hypogonadism or secondary testicular failure; of these 2 were Kallman syndrome and the rest were idiopathic. After testosterone replacement all patients were virilized and there was marked improvement in libido and androgenization. CONCLUSION: The study brings out that primary testicular failure is more common than secondary testicular failure. Both pattern of hypogonadism should receive lifelong androgen replacement therapy; otherwise, they will be a basket of multiple systemic disorders. Presently testosterone undecanoate once in every three months is the agent of choice.

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.
