Abstract
Individuals exhibiting female genitalia and normal ovaries despite having a 46, XY karyotype represent an extremely rare condition of disorder of sex development (DSD) with unclear mechanism. We present a case of 17-year-old 46,XY phenotypic female with a chief complaint of primary amenorrhea. Physical examination revealed typical female genitalia, with B4P3 pubertal Tanner stage. Evaluation disclosed elevated levels of testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), ovaries with follicles and a small uterus. Our report offers insights for the clinical diagnosis and treatment for cases with 46, XY DSD manifesting a female phenotype.
