Abstract
The occurrence of neoplastic transformation in a dysgenetic gonad of a female with 46,XX karyotype is very rare, Moreover, to our knowledge, a case of endodermal sinus tumor arising from that setting combined w ith Mullerian agenesis has not been reported. This case suggests the p ossibility of development of cancer in a dysgenetic ovary of a female even with 46,XX or Mullerian agenesis. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
