Agonadism: case report and review.
A 24-year-old phenotypic girl with primary amenorrhea was referred for further evaluation. The cervix and uterus were absent and no gonadal tissue was present by physical examination or at laparotomy. Her serum FSH was elevated and there was no increase in serum testosterone following HCG stimulation. The defect(s) in this case and similar patients with "agonadism" reported to date are compatible with various genetic hypotheses.
