Published: June 2023

A case is reported herein of a true hermaphrodite (TH) with an ovotestis, a uterus, a vagina, and an underdeveloped phallus. The patient was raised by his parents as a male, based on the presence of a phallus with ambiguous genitalia. He started experiencing breast enlargement at the age of 14 and menarche by the age of 17. He was reviewed using ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging of the abdomen, and karyotyping, and the reports showed evidence of Mullerian structures and 46 XX karyotyping. Based on the preferences of the patient and his parents and their psychological outlook toward the male gender, a total mastectomy, hysterectomy, bilateral gonadectomy, and total vaginectomy were performed. This was followed by reconstruction of the male genitalia and supplemented with male hormone replacement therapy. Accordingly, a TH was assigned a male gender.
