Özet

Female pseudohermaphroditism is the most frequent form of ambiguous genitalia in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). However, a small group of children with complete urethral development in contrast to 46XX karyotype can be encountered. We aimed to define the characteristics of patients with 46XX CAH but having fully developed male external genitalia.
