Objective: 17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency (17β-HSDD) and 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency (5α-RD) are rare 46,XY differences of sex development (DSD). This study aims to enlarge the limited knowledge on long-term gonadal function and gonadal pathology in these conditions.

Design: Retrospective multicentre cohort study.

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.

Signs of virilization, such as clitoromegaly, labio-scrotal fusion, and urogenital sinus may be observed in females with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) and other rare virilizing forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). This makes sex determination difficult, and multiple reconstructive surgeries in the postnatal period may be required. As 21-OHD is an autosomal recessive disease, the chance of any child being affected is one in four and so only one in eight will be an affected female.

Rare Types of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasias Other Than 21-hydroxylase Deficiency.

Although the most common cause of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) worldwide is 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD), which accounts for more than 95% of cases, other rare causes of CAH such as 11 beta-hydroxylase deficiency (11βOHD), 3 beta-hydroxy steroid dehydrogenase (3β-HSD) deficiency, 17 hydroxylase deficiency and lipoid CAH may also be encountered in clinical practice. 11βOHD is the most common type of CAH after 21OHD, and CYP11B1 deficiency in adrenal steroidogenesis causes the inability to produce cortisol and aldosterone and the excessive production of adrenal androgens. Although the clinical and laboratory features are similar to 21OHD, findings of mineralocorticoid deficiency are not observed.

: Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare disorder of sex development (DSD) caused by mutations in the genes coding anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) or the AMH receptor, characterized by the persistence of Müllerian derivatives, the uterus and/or fallopian tubes, in otherwise normally virilized boys. Testicular regression syndrome is common in PMDS, yet the association with supernumerary testis has been reported in only two patients where genetic testing was not performed. : Thus, we report an individual with this particular association caused by a previously unreported homozygous variant in the gene to enable future genotype-phenotype correlations in this rare disorder.
