Abstract

A 53-year-old male referred to our centre because of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism detected during urological follow-up for urethral lithiasis. Physical examination showed short stature, micropenis, ambiguous external genitalia, and normal secondary sexual characteristics. Karyotype: 45 × 0/46XY. Abdominal MRI revealed the presence of uterus-like structure, right annex, and left testes without prostate. He underwent laparoscopic removal of dysgenetic tissues; histologic examination confirmed the presence of little uterus, fallopian tubes, little atrophic ovary, and vaginal tract; left testes was atrophic with sclero-jalinosis of seminal tubes and Leydig's cells hyperplasia. Testosterone replacement therapy was started after surgery and prostate became MRI visible after 2 years.
