title: XY female athlete with Olympic potential.
abstract: We report a 16-year-old phenotypic female with XY pure gonadal dysgenesis. A dysgerminoma was found in one of the dysgenetic gonads stressing the importance of prophylactic gonadectomy. Her case presents a difficult problem because as a member of a national junior training squad, she had the potential for competing at international level where her genetic sex could be a profound liability.
