Abstract
BACKGROUND: Ovotesticular disorders of sexual development (OT-DSD) represent a rare sex development disorder characterized by the presence of both ovarian and testicular tissues in the same or the contralateral gonad. CASE: We present the case of a 14-year-old female patient with signs of virilization at a pubertal age and with dysmorphic features, diagnosed as 46,XX OT-DSD. CONCLUSION: We want to point out that patients with 46 XX OT-DSD may present with virilization at puberty and may be accompanied by dysmorphic features.
