Tumors of the testis in intersex syndromes.
Patients with intersex syndrome are rare in the general population. In these patients, cryptorchid gonads that have an Y chromosome or Y chromosomal material are at risk for development of germinal and non-germinal neoplasm and non-neoplastic masses. Diagnosis of individual patients should be accurate for optimal care and risk assessment.
