Feminització quirúrgica. Lògica o obligada?

A 13 year-old patient was referred to undergo surgical feminization of her external genitalia. The patient had male chromosomal sex (46 XY) and female social sex, and had been diagnosed with testicular feminization syndrome. Since physical examination and laboratory evaluation did not fit with the clinical history, a biopsy of genital skin was performed and fibroblasts were isolated for culture, and peripheral blood lymphocytes were analyzed. These studies demonstrated the presence of 2 mutations resulting in lack of 5α reductase.
