title: [Bilateral ovariectomy in gonadal dysgenesis with a Y chromosome].
abstract: The Authors report 4 cases of gonadal dysgenesis with a Y chromosome. Every patient underwent bilateral oophorectomy. Two cases of streak gonads, 1 case of streak gonad and gonadoblastoma and 1 case of non metastasizing bilateral gonadoblastoma with foci of dysgerminoma have been found. The Authors emphasize the importance of early bilateral gonadectomy in all cases of gonadal dysgenesis with a Y chromosome.
