Area of Science:

  • Reproductive endocrinology
  • Medical genetics
  • Surgical management of intersex conditions

Background:

  • Ambiguous genitalia presents complex diagnostic and management challenges.
  • Gender identity and affirmation are critical considerations in pediatric and adult endocrinology.

Observation:

  • A 23-year-old presented with ambiguous external genitalia, gynecomastia, and cyclic hematuria.
