Abstract
|
|
|
One case of complete testicular feminization syndrome or Morris syndrome is described. The patient visited our hospital because of primary amenorrhea. She was genetically male (46, XY). The phenotype was female, and the vagina had a normal length
and
closed end. Her breasts were well developed, but her nipples were poorly developed. Testicular feminization syndrome is the most common form of male pseudohermaphroditism, and it is a genetic disorder with X-linked recessive inheritance that is
associated with an XY karyotype, bilaterally maldescended testes. She was submitted to abdominal surgical explolation and orchidectomy of the cryptorchid male gonads.
