Summary

Descripción general del contenido del recurso.

Background: The suspicion of a disorder of sex development (DSD) often arises at birth, when the newborn presents with ambiguous genitalia, or even during prenatal ultrasound assessments. Less frequently, the aspect of the external genitalia is typically female or male, and the diagnosis of DSD may be delayed until a karyotype is performed for another health issue, or until pubertal age when a girl presents with absence of thelarche and/or menarche or a boy consults for gynaecomastia and/or small testes. Summary: In this review, we provide a practical, updated approach to clinical and hormonal laboratory workup of the newborn, the child, and the adolescent with a suspected DSD. We focus on how to specifically address the diagnostic approach according to the age and presentation. Key Message: We particularly highlight the importance of a detailed anatomic description of the external and internal genitalia, adequate imaging studies or surgical exploration, the assessment of reproductive hormone levels - especially testosterone, anti-Müllerian hormone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, and gonadotropins - and karyotyping.
