Prophylactic gonadectomy is widely accepted in male pseudohermaphroditism because of the possible malignant conversion of the gonads. Gonadoblastoma or dysgerminoma may occur in the dysgenetic gonads. Laparoscopic gonadectomy has been performed on a patient and is suggested as the optimum mode of management of patients with dysgenetic gonads.
