[XX male: 3 case reports during childhood].

We report on three patients with the clinical condition known as "XX male", which is uncommon in the pediatric age group. Patients have a male phenotype (usually without ambiguous genitalia) and testes; however, the karyotype is 46,XX. The diagnosis is usually made in adult life due to infertility; it may also be done by the pediatrician when there is ambiguous genitalia or gynecomastia.
