The clinical features of 3 Ethiopian patients presenting with the complete syndrome of testicular feminization are described. All 3 were seen because of primary amenorrhoea. At laparotomy, one patient had testes located intra-abdominally, a second lodged in the inguinal canals and a third as masses in the labia majora. Also, one of these patients had bilateral inguinal herniae, a usual feature of this syndrome. Since the incidence of malignancy is high among individuals with undescended testes, they were removed in 2 patients. In the third patient, however, the testes were not removed because of delay in development of secondary sex characteristics. The literature on testicular feminization is also briefly reviewed.
本文描述了3例呈现完全性睾丸女性化综合征的埃塞俄比亚患者的临床特征。所有3例患者均因原发性闭经前来就诊。剖腹探查时，1例患者的睾丸位于腹腔内，第2例位于腹股沟管，第3例为大阴唇肿物。此外，其中1例患者患有双侧腹股沟疝，这是该综合征的常见特征。由于隐睾患者发生恶性肿瘤的几率较高，2例患者的睾丸被切除。然而，第3例患者的睾丸未被切除，原因是第二性征发育延迟。本文还简要回顾了关于睾丸女性化的文献。
