Incompletely Masculinized Males

April 20th, 2005

Incompletely masculinized males are male by genetic sex (XY) and possess testicles, but the external genitalia are not normally male. Male pseudohermaphrodites may arise in one of three ways:

1. Defective responses in androgen dependent tissues ยข?" Androgen Insensi-tivity Syndromes.
2. Abnormal androgen synthesis.
3. Absent or defective antimiillerian hormone.
