Genital abnormalities such as congenital uni/bilateral absence of the vas deferens are very rare in Klinefelter's syndrome. Here, we report three cases of Klinefelter's syndrome with unilateral absence of the vas deferens. All cases had small testicles, and unilateral vas deferentia were not palpable. Hormonal evaluations revealed hypergonadotropism. One case had elevated prolactin level, and pituitary adenoma was detected by magnetic resonance imaging. All cases were diagnosed as Klinefelter's syndrome (one of them had mosaicism) cytogenetically, and some CFTR gene mutations were detected. To our knowledge, this is the first case series of both conditions existing simultaneously.
诸如先天性单侧/双侧输精管缺如等生殖器官异常在克兰费尔特综合征中非常罕见。在此,我们报告三例克兰费尔特综合征合并单侧输精管缺如的病例。所有病例均有小睾丸,且单侧输精管无法触及。激素评估显示促性腺激素水平升高。其中一例催乳素水平升高,通过磁共振成像检测到垂体腺瘤。所有病例经细胞遗传学诊断为克兰费尔特综合征(其中一例为嵌合体),并检测到一些囊性纤维化跨膜传导调节因子(CFTR)基因突变。据我们所知,这是同时存在这两种情况的首个病例系列。
