Petit P, Moerman P, Fryns JP. Full 69,XXY triploidy and sex‐reversal: a further example of true hermaphrodism associated with multiple malformations. Clin Genet 1992: 41: 175–177. A 20‐week gestational age fetus with full triploidy and multiple malformations is presented. In all examined lymphocytes, fibroblasts and chori‐onic villi, a 69,XXY karyotype was found. Autopsy examination revealed bilateral ovotestes but, no evidence of Müllerian derivatives.
