[Male pseudohermaphroditism. Testicular feminization syndrome].
Male pseudohermaphroditism--testicular feminization syndrome is a rare genetic entity with considerably familial predisposition. Of the 9 cases, 7 except 2 children were confirmed surgically. Clinical manifestations of the disorder were primary amenorrhea, infertility and a mass in groin. We suggested that orchiectomy is necessary after puberty. The genetic pattern, clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of the condition were briefly discussed with a review of the literature.
