Abstract
Two cases of »testicular feminization« are described the first a typical case and the second an intermediate case between testicular feminization and gonadal dysgenesis. This second case had an unusual histological picture. A hormonal study including the estimation of urinary oestrone, 17β-oestradiol, oestriol, 17-ketosteroids and 17-hydroxy-corticosteroids before, during and after administration of human chorionic gonadotrophin was carried out in both cases, before and after bilateral gonadectomy. The results obtained indicate that in the first patient the abdominal testicles were the main source of the oestrogens found in the urine.
