Pure gonadal dysgenesis is a situation when the karyotype is 46, XY, but for various reasons there is a disorder of differentiation of Wolffian and Mullerian structures and in consequence the phenotype is female. It is known that abdominal gonads and the presence of Y chromosome allow to qualify this condition as a high risk of tumor. In most cases breast development is limited because of lack or low level of estrogen. A 27-year-old patient with differences of sexual development (DSD), was admitted to the Department of Endocrinological Gynecology for a control examination. In the history: dysgerminoma, primary amenorrhea and ambiguous karyotype. The patient has not taken hormonal replacement therapy. The breast development is Tanner stage V.
