This included 4 patients with pure gonadal dysgenesis (PGD; Swyer syndrome), 2 patients with mixed gonadal dysgenesis (MGD), and one patient with partial gonadal dysgenesis. Out of these 7 patients, three patients developed germ cell tumors, one patient with MGD, and two patients with pure PGD (Swyer syndrome). In all three patients, germ cell tumor was the first presentation of DSD. The patient with MGD presented with primary amenorrhea and virilization, while the two patients with PGD presented as phenotypic females with primary amenorrhea and pelvic mass. All three patients developed seminomatous cancers. Patient with MGD developed seminoma and the two patients with PGD (Swyer syndrome) developed dysgerminoma. The patients were managed with bilateral gonadectomy with removal of the tumor. In addition, the 2 patients with PGD (Swyer syndrome) received combined chemotherapy. On a follow up ranging from 1 to 10 years, all three patients are disease free.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>we conclude that germ cell tumors may be the first presentation of 46, XY gonadal dysgenesis. In all phenotypic females with primary amenorrhea and dysgerminoma, karyotype is a must to uncover the diagnosis of PGD. In addition virilization may be clue to the presence of germ cell tumor in a patient with 46, XY gonadal dysgenesis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijem.ijem_373_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,3]],"date-time":"2023-07-03T15:10:01Z","timestamp":1688397001000},"page":"424-428","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Germ Cell Tumors in 46, XY Gonadal Dysgenesis"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Raiz A.","family":"Misgar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, Kashmir, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sajad U.","family":"Islam Mir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, Kashmir, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohmad H.","family":"Mir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Oncology, Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, Kashmir, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mir I.","family":"Bashir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, Kashmir, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arshad I.","family":"Wani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, Kashmir, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shariq R.","family":"Masoodi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Endocrinology, Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, Kashmir, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.1016\/j.beem.2007.11.001","article-title":"Disorders of sex development: A new definition and classification","volume":"22","author":"Hughes","year":"2008","journal-title":"Best Pract Res Clin Endocrinol Metab"},{"key":"R2-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"195","DOI":"10.1159\/000094782","article-title":"Epidemiology and initial management of ambiguous genitalia at birth in Germany","volume":"66","author":"Thuyen","year":"2006","journal-title":"Horm Res Paediatr"},{"key":"R3-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"223","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-0004.1975.tb01498.x","article-title":"A cytogenetic survey of 14,069 newborn infants.
