Disorders of sexual development (DSD) are diseases resulting from aberrations in sex chromosomes, gonadal, and internal/external genitalia development resulting in various phenotypes. Ovotesticular DSD represents a rarer entity in this classification of disorders characterized by simultaneous presence of testicular and ovarian tissue. Gonadal tumors in those with DSDs is a known risk, although ovarian masses discovered in adults with ovotesticular DSD is a rare entity and there is little literature pertaining to this population. We present a case of an incidental adnexal mass discovered in an elderly patient ultimately elucidated as a malignant ovarian mass.
性发育障碍(DSD)是由性染色体、性腺以及内/外生殖器发育异常导致的各种表型疾病。卵睾性DSD在这类疾病分类中较为罕见,其特征是同时存在睾丸和卵巢组织。已知患有DSD的个体有发生性腺肿瘤的风险,尽管在成年卵睾性DSD患者中发现卵巢肿物较为罕见,且关于这一人群的文献很少。我们报告一例老年患者偶然发现附件肿物,最终确诊为恶性卵巢肿物。
