45,X/46,XY mosaicism is a sex development disorder with an estimated incidence of less than 1 in 15,000 live births. Various studies have shown there is an increased risk of germ cell tumours forming in Mosaic Turner syndrome. This includes gonadoblastoma, a clinically benign mixed germ-stromal cell tumour. However, this can later develop into one or several malignant germ cell neoplasms, for which early prophylactic gonadectomy is often recommended in patients with 45,X/46,XY mosaicism. The study presents the case of an 11-year-old patient diagnosed with a Mosaic Turner syndrome karyotype, who underwent prophylactic bilateral gonadectomy.
45,X/46,XY嵌合体是一种性发育障碍,估计在活产婴儿中的发病率低于1/15000。多项研究表明,嵌合型特纳综合征患者发生生殖细胞肿瘤的风险增加。这包括性腺母细胞瘤,一种临床上良性的混合性生殖-间质细胞瘤。然而,这种肿瘤后来可能发展为一种或几种恶性生殖细胞肿瘤,因此对于45,X/46,XY嵌合体患者,通常建议早期进行预防性性腺切除术。该研究报告了一例11岁被诊断为嵌合型特纳综合征核型的患者,其接受了双侧预防性性腺切除术。
