title: [Testicular feminization--sequelae of chronic neglect of a neoplastic process].
abstract: This paper reports on a 56-year-old patient with a history of "testicular feminization syndrome" who was admitted to hospital because of a rapid gain in her abdominal girth (106 cm). A benign cyst was removed laparotomically which, histologically, was equivalent to a cystadenofibroma. Based on this case report, the clinical significance of testicular feminization syndrome and the necessity for gonadectomy due to the risk of growth of a possibly malignant tumor are discussed.
