    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Genetics
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Incomplete testicular feminisation (ITF) is a rare disorder of sex development.
    • It presents with varying degrees of undervirilization in 46,XY individuals.

    Observation:

    • A 53-year-old patient presented with a lower abdominal tumor, exhibiting mild masculine body structure, features, and clitoral hypertrophy.
    • Histological examination revealed a hydrocele with a Leydig cell tumor in one testicle and an atrophic contralateral testicle without spermatogenesis.

    Findings:

    • The patient was diagnosed with incomplete testicular feminisation, a condition typically identified much later in life.
    • Late diagnosis precluded timely psychological guidance and oncological surveillance for testicular tumors.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of early recognition of incomplete testicular feminisation for appropriate patient management.
    • Raising awareness of ITF, occurring in 1:2,000 to 1:20,000 births, is vital for improving patient outcomes.
    • Highlights the need for comprehensive care, including psychological support and oncological monitoring, from puberty onwards.
