Abstract

45X/47XYY mosaicism is a very rare sex chromosomal disorder with limited clinical information. We experienced an unusual mosaic syndrome in a 16-year old woman with a phenotypic female, short stature, and immature secondary sexual characteristics. We performed both gonadectomy and found a gonadoblastoma in one gonad and dysgerminoma in another gonad.
