Computed tomography of testicular feminization

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1984 Aug;8(4):772-3. doi: 10.1097/00004728-198408000-00037.

Abstract

Testicular feminization is a rare genetic disease characterized by an XY karyotype, bilateral functional testes, female external genitalia, blind vagina, and absence of müllerian derivatives. The presurgical localization of the testes is critical and is particularly well suited to the cross-sectional imaging capability of CT.
