Abstract

Mixed gonadal dysgenesis (MGD) is a disorder of sex development caused by mosaicism of the Y chromosome, represented by 45,X/46,XY. Prophylactic gonadectomy is recommended as soon as possible after its diagnosis, owing to a high risk of malignancy. In the present case, a 21‑year‑old woman presented with primary amenorrhea. Although the patient's external genitalia were female, the patient exhibited a hypoplastic uterus, wherein the ovaries were difficult to identify. The patient's height was 146 cm; they had cubitus valgus and webbing of the neck, leading to the consideration of a disorder of sex development. Chromosomal examination revealed 45,X/46,XY mosaicism. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with MGD. After thorough counseling, laparoscopic bilateral gonadectomy was performed. Pathological examination revealed a gonadoblastoma of the left gonad. Postoperatively, the patient had no recurrence and continued on Kaufmann therapy. In conclusion, prophylactic gonadectomy is recommended immediately following a diagnosis of MGD; however, the timing of the surgery should be carefully considered and adequate counseling should be conducted by a multidisciplinary team.
