Abstract :
Ovotesticular disorder of sex development (DSD) is a very rare
chromosomal anomaly characterized by the presence of both ovarian and
testicular tissues. We reported a case of delayed diagnosis in a
18-year-old man presenting with nonpalpable testes. Pre-operative
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated associated anomalies
(agenesis of seminal vesicle, configuration of urethra) and Mullerian
duct remnants. The presence and location of both ovary and testis, and
restricted diffusions of gonads were detected on MRI. On histopathology,
malignancies were found in both gonads. Pre-operative MRI findings were
helpful for surgical approach. We emphasized the importance of
pre-operative MRI on treatment planning.
