Male pseudohermaphroditism (MPH), which causes ambiguous genitalia, rarely presents during adolescence. Herein we report two siblings diagnosed with MPH at the ages of 16 and 12 years and raised unambiguously as girls. Individuals with MPH provide caregivers the opportunity to observe the complex interaction between the biologic and psychosocial forces which shape gender identity. Factors which contribute to gender identity and the management of sex assignment may differ between cultures with regard to dominating sociocultural attitudes towards masculinity and femininity in a given society. The decision to perform feminizing surgery on both patients was made in consideration of these issues.
男性假两性畸形（MPH）可导致生殖器模糊不清，在青春期很少出现。在此，我们报告两名分别在16岁和12岁时被诊断为MPH的姐妹，她们一直被明确地当作女孩抚养。患有MPH的个体让护理人员有机会观察塑造性别认同的生物因素和心理社会因素之间的复杂相互作用。在特定社会中，关于男性气质和女性气质的主导社会文化态度方面，不同文化中影响性别认同和性别分配管理的因素可能有所不同。考虑到这些问题，我们决定对两名患者都实施女性化手术。
