Testicular germ cell tumor in a female patient with male pseudohermaphroditism - a rare case report

Testicular germ cell tumors in patients with disorders of gonadal development have been reported in literature. A 38 year old phenotypically female patient with primary amenorrhoea came to our hospital with complaints of an inguinoscrotal mass and was subsequently diagnosed to have male pseudohermaphroditism, possibly testicular feminisation syndrome. Clinical and laboratory investigations suggested the diagnosis of a germ cell tumor of the testis. The patient underwent high inguinal orchiectomy followed by post operative chemotherapy. The post operative diagnosis was mixed germ cell tumor of the testis in a male pseudohermaphrodite. The association is notable for its rarity.
