Gonadoblastomas are rare mixed gonadal tumors that are almost always found in individuals with 46, XY karyotype or some other form of Y chromosome mosaicism. It is extremely rare to diagnose gonadoblastoma in phenotypically normal 46, XX females. Herein, we present a 20-year-old 46, XX female diagnosed with gonadoblastoma and dysgerminoma. Use of cytogenetic and molecular analyses to identify the presence of Y chromosome material in peripheral blood, gonadal, and tumor tissue can exclude mosaicism to provide reassurance to undertake conservative surgical management and preserve fertility.
性腺母细胞瘤是一种罕见的混合性性腺肿瘤,几乎总是在具有46, XY核型或其他形式Y染色体嵌合体的个体中发现。在表型正常的46, XX女性中诊断出性腺母细胞瘤极为罕见。在此,我们报告一名20岁的46, XX女性被诊断患有性腺母细胞瘤和无性细胞瘤。使用细胞遗传学和分子分析来鉴定外周血、性腺和肿瘤组织中Y染色体物质的存在,可以排除嵌合体,从而放心地进行保守手术治疗并保留生育能力。
