Title Of Article :
Late diagnosed case of testicular feminization with Sertoli Leydig Tumor
Abstract :
Testicular feminization (TF) has a similar phenotype with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome in patients with amenorrhea, causing confusion in diagnosis. It is an androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) and is genetically transmitted as an X-linked recessive condition. Cytogenetic analysis of patients reveals a 46XY chromosome structure. Testicular feminization (TF) has an annual prevalence of 1/20000 and 1/60000, and the main complaint of patients is usually primary amenorrhea. Phenotypically, well developed breast tissue, hypertrophic clitoris and labia majora with a short and blind vagina are detected. The aim of this study is to present a TF case that was followed as MRKH syndrome for years, and admitted to our clinic because of a pelvic mass. Sertoli Leydig cell tumor was diagnosed pathologically during surgery.
