Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a common sex chromosome disorder and is characterized by small, firm testes with hyalinization of the seminiferous tubules, elevated gonadotropins and azoospermia. Among karyotypic variants of KS, mosaicism 47,XXY/46,XX is extremely rare. We report here a case of an 18-year-old boy with a mosaic 47,XXY/46,XX karyotype of peripheral blood diagnosed as KS.

Klinefelter syndrome represents the most commonly found human sex chromosomal abnormality. It is characterized by small, firm testes with hyalinization of the seminiferous tubules, elevated gonadotropins and azoospermia. Males with Klinefelter syndrome may have a 47,XXY or a mosaic 47,XXY/46,XY constitutional karyotype and varying degrees of spermatogenic failure.

Klinefelter syndrome is the first human sex chromosomal abnormality to be reported. The majority of Klinefelter syndrome patients have the XXY karyotype. Approximately 15% of Klinefelter patients, however, are mosaics with variable phenotypes.
