Abstract
A Sertoli cell tumor that occurred in a true [human] hermaphrodite with a 46, XX chromosome constitution is described. Removal of the tumor was followed by an immediate fall in plasma FSH and LH [luteinizing hormone] concentrations. The tumor probably possessed the capacity for ectopic production of the gonadotropins.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
