Swyer syndrome, dysgerminoma, amenorrhoea, gonadal dysgenesisAbstract
Complete gonadal dysgenesis with 46,XY karyotype is a clinical condition characterized by the absence of testicular tissue but typical Mullerian structures in a phenotypically female individual. The condition presents as primary amenorrhoea or delayed puberty. Eventually, malignant neoplasms may arise. We report a case of a 16-year-old patient with Swyer syndrome presenting with primary amenorrhoea and with previous diagnosis four years earlier of a malignant dysgerminoma in the right ovary.
