Abstract
Hermaphroditism is known as ovotesticular disorder of sex development. A 14-year-old boy was admitted with right acute scrotum. Exploration revealed tunica rupture and hematoma, with no viable tissue. After 1 month, he was admitted again with left hemiscrotal pain. Microscopic examination of the left gonad demonstrated foci of hemorrhagic cysts, primordial follicles, and regions of seminiferous tubules. We preserved a testicular tissue and the ovarian part was extracted completely. Long-term follow-up with his hormonal profile is reported. This is a case of ovotesticular disorder presented with acute scrotum and we also tried to reduce long-term hormone therapy, with preservation of testicular part.
