title: [Variants of hermaphroditism (clinical findings)].
abstract: False and true hermaphroditism (FH and TH) are often encountered in surgery for hypospadia. A clinically validated classification of various types and variants of hermaphroditism is proposed. FH is divided into male FH and female FH. TH also falls into two categories: TH without anomalies of external genitalia and that with these anomalies. The latter category has three variants: 1) all genitalia of males or females and some genitalia of the other sex; 2) some female and male organs in various combinations; 3) all organs of both sexes. All TH variants are illustrated by 5 case reports. These patients were thoroughly examined and their sex was surgically corrected.
