Abstract
Ovotesticular disorder or true hermaphroditism is defined as the presence of both ovarian and testicular tissues in the same individual irrespective of the patient's karyotype. Ovotesticular disorder represents 5% of disorders of sex development. Cases of true hermaphroditism must be treated like men or women based on their age, external genitalia and the orientation of the patient. Here we report a case of true hermaphroditism which was diagnosed with seminoma on histopathological examination. The patient underwent orchiectomy, followed by two cycles of chemotherapy.Entities:
