True hermaphroditism (TH) is an uncommon cause of genital ambiguity. This is a retrospective compilation of six cases of true hermaphroditism seen at our institute over the last one and a half decades. Clinical presentation was wide-ranging, with age at presentation varying from 2 months to 41 years and symptoms ranging from ambiguous genitalia to a lower abdominal mass. All patients had perineoscrotal hypospadias with varying degrees of labioscrotal fusion. Clinically, gonads were not palpable in four cases and internally an ovotestis was observed in half of them. Karyotyping was 46, XX in all except one. The majority of the patients were reared as males. True hermaphroditism (TH) forms an important differential in the diagnostic algorithm of ambiguous genitalia especially if gonads are not palpable and congenital adrenal hyperplasia has been ruled out.

Background: Ovotesticular disorder of sex development is a rare form of disorder of sex development that manifests as ovotestis in individuals. The precise diagnosis and the choice of surgical procedures are still in conflict condition due to the rarity of the disease, diverse clinical presentations, and the lack of evidence-based medical studies on postoperative outcomes.
Case Presentation: We present a 46, XX ovotesticular disorder of sex development case, aged 19, with Prader stage IV virilization who underwent feminizing genitoplasty surgery.

Article Synopsis
- * The tumor identified was a sex cord-stromal (granulosa cell) tumor, and the heifer's sex chromosome type was confirmed to be XX, indicating an ovotesticular disorder of sexual development with female characteristics.
- * This case highlights that while disorders of sexual development are common in mammals, the occurrence of gonadal tumors in these conditions is infrequent and has not been previously documented in cattle.

Article Synopsis
- Ovotesticular disorder of sexual development (OT-DSD) is a super rare condition where someone has both testicle and ovary tissues, happening in about 1 in 100,000 people.
- The article talks about a 44-year-old man who found out he had OT-DSD after having some health issues, but he didn't get treated earlier because he grew up in a family that couldn't afford medical care.
- After some medical tests and surgery, doctors confirmed his condition, and he ended up doing well even though there were delays in his diagnosis.

Article Synopsis
- True hermaphroditism is a rare disorder characterized by the coexistence of both testicular and ovarian tissues in an individual, making up less than 5% of all disorders of sex development.
- The case study highlights a patient with two genetic mutations linked to true hermaphroditism, who also shows symptoms of Kallmann syndrome, which includes hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia due to hormone deficiency.
- This case is significant as it documents the first known instance of a 46 XX true hermaphrodite with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and digenic inheritance related to Kallmann syndrome.
