ABSTRACT

Turner syndrome is a rare chromosomal disorder with a prevalence of 1/2,000 to 1/5,000 newborns alive; 1 to 2% of all pregnancies have monosomy X. In the cases of mosaicism, it is important to consider the presence of cell line with chromosome that represents 25% of risk of developing gonadoblastoma or dysgerminoma, so recommended prophylactic gonadectomy. The objective of this study is to describe a clinical case of a patient with manifestations of Turner syndrome and 46 XXY karyotype. We review aspects of the clinical and cytogenetic findings.
