Abstract
The accidental discovery, in an inguinal hernia, of a male gonad in a 67 yr old woman is reported. The association of an unambiguous female phenotype with a purely male karyotype and a male gonad suggests the diagnosis of testicular feminization. The differential diagnosis, particularly of testicular feminization with true hermaphroditism, is discussed.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
