Abstract:
The authors report the case of bilateral gonadoblastomas in a phenotypic female, with a 46,XY karyotype, with campomelic dysplasia. Although campomelic dysplasia with gonadal dysgenesis should be expected to contribute to an increased risk of gonadoblastoma, this is the first documented case report of campomelic dysplasia and gonadoblastoma. Phenotypic females with campomelic dysplasia should be karyotyped once the skeletal dysplasia is recognized. phenotypic females with campomelic dysplasia should undergo gonadectomy if their karyotype includes a Y chromosome or fragment.
