Abstract

Disorders of sexual development (DSD) are diseases resulting from aberrations in sex chromosomes, gonadal, and internal/external genitalia development resulting in various phenotypes. Ovotesticular DSD represents a rarer entity in this classification of disorders characterized by simultaneous presence of testicular and ovarian tissue. Gonadal tumors in those with DSDs is a known risk, although ovarian masses discovered in adults with ovotesticular DSD is a rare entity and there is little literature pertaining to this population. We present a case of an incidental adnexal mass discovered in an elderly patient ultimately elucidated as a malignant ovarian mass.
