A 20‐month‐old phenotypically male child with ambiguous external genitalia came to this hospital. Chromosomal and DNA analyses revealed 46/XX karyotype and absence of SRY gene, respectively. Two gonadal masses in the labioscrotal folds histologically showed both ovarian and testicular tissues. Clinicopathological features of the patient suggested true hermaphroditism with bilateral ovotestes.
