- - Ovotesticular disorder is a form of sex development issue found in about 10% of cases, characterized by having both ovarian and testicular tissues in an individual, often with a rare 46 XY karyotype.
- - A case was presented involving a 16-year-old individual assigned female at birth who experienced primary amenorrhea and no secondary sexual characteristics, yet had a karyotype of 46 XY.
- - Following the decision for prophylactic bilateral gonadectomy, tissue examination showed ovarian stroma with some Sertoli cell tubules, confirming the diagnosis of ovotesticular disorder.
Article Abstract
Ovotesticular disorder represents 10% of cases of disorder of sex development characterized by the presence of both ovarian and testicular tissue in the same individual, with karyotype 46 XY being a rare sex chromosomal abnormality. We report the case of a 16-year-old person, who is reared as female, with a complaint of primary amenorrhea along with lack of secondary sexual characteristics, karyotype 46 XY. Prophylactic bilateral gonadectomy was done, and histopathological examination of bilateral gonads revealed ovarian stroma with a few Sertoli cell line tubules suggestive of bilateral ovotestis; hence, we concluded and framed our diagnosis of ovotesticular disorder.
