Male Pseudohermaphroditism

Case 1 presented at age 17 with perineal hypospadias virilization without gynecomastia and a female to male gender role change at puberty. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    OBJECTIVES: To analyze the steroid 5-alpha reductase type 2 gene (SRD5A2) in 2 siblings with severe male pseudohermaphroditism suspected to have 5-alpha reductase deficiency in a Turkish family. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Abdominal Mass

    The components of this syndrome are so striking that the radiologist can often suggest the diagnosis months to years before all three components are apparent, if proteinuria, hypertension, or an abdominal mass develop in any child with male pseudohermaphroditism [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    We report a case of female pseudohermaphroditism diagnosed later on the discovery of an abdominal mass, then revealed to be an enormous ovarian cyst. Hormonal dosages suggested the presence of partial surrenalic b-hydroxylase deficiency. [moh-it.pure.elsevier.com]

  • Projectile Vomiting

    At 2 weeks he required therapy for severe dehydration and projectile vomiting. The parents were first cousins and one female sibling had died suddenly at 2 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Osteopenia

    RESULTS: Three patients presented normal bone mineral density of the lumbar column (L1-L4) and femur neck, and the other patient presented a slight osteopenia in the lumbar column. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Suggestibility

    It is suggested that these two disorders represent different spectra of the same disorder. A unifying concept of etiopathogenesis is proposed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diagnostic workup showed that both hernial sacs contain testicles with the absence of ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus. [edoriumjournals.com]

  • Karyotype Abnormal

    A consistent karyotypic abnormality consisting of isochromosomes of the long arms of 1 and 17, and an interstitial deletion of the long arm of 5 was found in cultures of tumor cells, but no karyotypic abnormalities were found in peripheral blood lymphocytes [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Foam Cell

    A child with male pseudohermaphroditism, Wilms' tumor, and glomerulonephritis (Drash syndrome) was found to have a proliferative glomerular lesion, extensive renal cortical interstitial and glomerular scarring, and marked renal tubular foam cell change [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The addition of estrogen (ethinylestradiol, 0.05 mg daily) to dexamethasone treatment produced only poor development of the breasts six months later. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This syndrome has complete and partial forms, and its early recognition is important both for patient management and for assessment of prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis With appropriate corrective surgery, the appearance of external genitalia may appear normal. However, other problems such as virilization may appear later in life. [encyclopedia.com]

Among those we found 5 cases of male pseudohermaphroditism of different etiologies. Three males presented by impalpable testes with ambiguous genitalia and 2 females presented by primary amenorrhea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Utiger EPIDEMIOLOGY The estimated incidence of male pseudohermaphroditism is between 1/20.000 and 1/99.000 live male births. Female pseudohermaphroditism has a prevalence of 1 case per 16.000 population. [flipper.diff.org]

Currently, the basic pathophysiology of the lack of androgen effect on the genitalia is understood more fully. Some patients are receptor-negative; their cytosol receptors cannot bind DHT. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The diagnosis before puberty has allowed early treatment by removal of the abnormal testes which should prevent the usual presenting clinical signs of marked masculinizatin and hirsutism at puberty. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention & Expectations What are the long-term effects of the condition? A person with complete testicular feminization is a completely normal female externally. The person can lead quite normal lives, but cannot bear children. [medicineonline.com]
