Disorder of sex development (DSD) is a rare condition with atypical development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex. It is classified in different subgroups based on the patient's karyotype, gonadal dysgenesis, and the appearance of the internal and external genitalia. Within the subgroups, the risk for developing neoplasms varies a lot. Here, we report the case of a 41-year-old patient with disorder of sex development, showing a 46,XX karyotype with an ovotestis and the simultaneous manifestation of a Leydig cell tumor in the ovotestis. The patient initially presented with infertility, and a suspicious lesion of the left testicle was noted on MRI-Scan. Upon resection, a Leydig cell tumor and an ovotestis were diagnosed. Nongerm call tumors are rare in patients with DSD. We report a nongerm cell tumor in a patient with 46,XX DSD, ovotesticular. This shows that although 46,XX DSD, ovotesticular is known to have a low potential for germ cell neoplasia, nongerm cell tumors can develop and should be into account for the management of those patients.
性发育障碍(DSD)是一种罕见疾病,其染色体、性腺或解剖学性别发育异常。它根据患者的核型、性腺发育不全以及内外生殖器的外观被分类到不同亚组中。在这些亚组中,发生肿瘤的风险差异很大。在此,我们报告一例41岁性发育障碍患者的病例,其核型为46,XX,有一个卵睾,且在卵睾中同时出现了睾丸间质细胞瘤。患者最初表现为不孕,磁共振成像扫描发现左侧睾丸有可疑病变。切除后,诊断为睾丸间质细胞瘤和卵睾。非生殖细胞肿瘤在DSD患者中很罕见。我们报告了一例46,XX DSD、卵睾患者的非生殖细胞肿瘤。这表明,尽管已知46,XX DSD、卵睾患者发生生殖细胞瘤的可能性较低,但非生殖细胞肿瘤仍可能发生,在这些患者的管理中应予以考虑。
