Abstract
4 patients with male karyotype, two of whom have an uterus and ovarian stroma while the other two have “vanishing” testes (1 patient) and a small testes (1 patient) have been treated with local testosterone cream in an attempt to enlarge their penis so as to make operative correction of their perineal or scrotal hypospadias easier.
The results of pre- and post-operative clinical and laboratory measurements are presented, including the results of human chorionic gonadotrophin tests and of plasma testosterone levels.
