Disorders of sexual differentiation (DSD) are among the challenging problems in the field of endocrinology. When presenting late in an adult the therapeutic as well as diagnostic issues may be different and difficult. Bilateral anorchia is rare. The desire of future parenting is a real challenge when such patients ask for their own biological generations. This case depicts the late presentation of DSD in an anorchid adult and the management issues.
