Overview
Gonadoblastoma has no characteristic physical feature, however, any clue to the existence of an intersex disorder must raise the concern for diagnosing the coexisting gonadoblastoma.
Physical Examination
Gonadoblastoma has no characteristic physical feature, however, any clue to existence of an intersex disorder must raise the concern for diagnosing the coexisting gonadoblastoma.[1][2]
- Affected individuals can appear phenotypically female or male.
- It is of particular note that clinical presentation may be varied considering the nature of abnormal gonad and the amount of steroid hormone in it.
- In phenotypic women, physical examination of patients can be remarkable for virilization or the presence of a pelvic mass.
- In phenotypic men, physical examination suggestive of gonadoblastoma are undescended testes and hypospadias.
Skin
- Skin examination of patients with gonadoblastoma is usually normal.
HEENT
- HEENT examination of patients with gonadoblastoma is usually normal.
Neck
- Neck examination of patients with gonadoblastoma is usually normal.
Lungs
- Pulmonary examination of patients with gonadoblastoma is usually normal.
Heart
- Cardiovascular examination of patients with gonadoblastoma is usually normal.
Abdomen
- Abdominal examination of patients with gonadoblastoma is usually normal. In some cases, however, a lower abdominal mass may be the only clue for the diagnosis.
Back
- Back examination of patients with gonadoblastoma is usually normal.
Genitourinary
- Genitourinary examination of patients with gonadoblastoma is usually normal.
Neuromuscular
- Neuromuscular examination of patients with gonadoblastoma is usually normal.
Extremities
