Abstract
Germ cell tumors, including gonadoblastoma, are usually found in patients with gonadal dysgenesis who have Y chromatin in their genotype. Diffuse calcification is a common finding in gonadoblastomas. Bilateral calcifications in the gonadal sites were seen on the intravenous pyelogram of a patient with 46,XX pure gonadal dysgenesis. Although the calcification was present in the fimbria of the fallopian tube, gonadectomy was indicated in the patient with gonadal dysgenesis and probable gonadal calcification.
