Female pseudohermaprodite with hypospadiasis and ramnant of ovary

The parents of a child, apparently male of 6 weeks of age seek the advice of a physician for hypospadiasis. On examination the scrotum was found empty, no testes in the inguinal canal, the penis is small with urethral opening in the under surface.

Ultrasonography of the Abdomen reveals a cystic structure behind the urinary bladder.

Laparoscopic exploration of the abdomen was carried out by our surgical collegue. No testes was identified in the abdomen and a tissue from the cystic lesion was taken which on histological examination reveals to be uterine pole of the right ovary.

The patient is awaiting for reconstructive surgery and the external feature would be changed to female type.
