A case of bilateral gonadoblastoma overgrown with dysgermi‐noma on one side in streak ovaries in a phenotypic female with a chromosomal XY pattern has been presented. The neoplastic potential of dysgenetic gonads in an individual with a Y chromosome has been reviewed and the need therefore for complete bilateral gonadectomy in such cases has been stressed upon. The hormonal activity of these tumors has also been discussed.
