Abstract

This report describes an adolescent with Mixed Gonadal Dysgenesis and unexpected mosaicism [karyotype 46,X,mar(Y)/ 47,X, mar(Y),+mar(Y)].). Diagnosis with 1 month of age due to atypical genitalia. He presented a right streak gonad, which was removed due to the risk for germ cell tumor, and a left testis with epididymis barely connected and without vas deferens. Left testis maintenance was sufficient for him to undergo spontaneous puberty. The patient was non-responsive to growth hormone. Webbed neck was the only dysmorphic feature. To the best of our knowledge, there were no similar cases reported with spontaneous pubertal progress reported in the literature.
