The demonstration of true hermaphroditism by computed tomography
Clinical Radiology
|November 1, 1986
Abstract:
Intersex states are rare but if unsuspected may cause diagnostic confusion. We describe one such patient with true hermaphroditism which was misdiagnosed on computed tomography (CT). Laparotomy revealed a female genital tract and histology confirmed the presence of ovatestes, despite a male phenotype.
