    XY gonadal dysgenesis in children increases the risk of gonadal tumors, including dysgerminoma and gonadoblastoma. Early prophylactic gonadectomy is recommended to mitigate these risks in affected individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Endocrinology
    • Reproductive Endocrinology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • XY gonadal dysgenesis (XY-GD) is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of a Y chromosome with underdeveloped or absent testes.
    • Individuals with XY-GD often present with female or ambiguous external genitalia and may experience delayed puberty or primary amenorrhea.
    • A significant concern in XY-GD is the elevated risk of developing gonadal tumors, such as gonadoblastomas and dysgerminomas.

    Observation:

    • Two pediatric cases of XY gonadal dysgenesis are presented, highlighting distinct clinical presentations.
    • The first patient, a 7-year-old, had clitoromegaly and a dysgerminoma in the left gonad, with a gonadoblastoma in the right.
    • The second patient, a 2-year-old, exhibited poor development and mild virilization, with bilateral dysgenetic gonads removed surgically.

    Findings:

    • The occurrence of gonadal tumors is notably increased in individuals with XY gonadal dysgenesis.
    • Tumor development is potentially linked to childhood hypergonadotropinism and genetic factors associated with the Y chromosome and cryptorchidism.
    • The first patient represents one of the youngest reported cases of XY gonadal dysgenesis with gonadoblastoma.

    Implications:

    • These findings underscore the critical importance of early diagnosis and surveillance for gonadal tumors in children with XY gonadal dysgenesis.
    • Prophylactic gonadectomy is strongly indicated in cases of XY gonadal dysgenesis to prevent tumor development.
    • Further research into the specific genetic and hormonal factors contributing to tumorigenesis in XY-GD is warranted.
