Introduction: Depending on the underlying diagnosis, Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) can be associated with an increased risk of germ cell cancers. To date, however, knowledge regarding the indications and timing of gonadectomy is lacking.
Methods: The International-DSD (I-DSD) Registry was interrogated for anonymised information regarding the diagnosis, karyotype, sex of rearing and timing of gonadectomy, if undertaken, of all individuals of any karyotype who were over the age of 16 years at the time of search and who had a disorder that may lead to long-term hypogonadism namely a disorder of androgen action; androgen synthesis; gonadal development or a non-specific disorder of undermasculinisation (NSDUM).
Results: At the time of search, 2,141 cases were accessible on the I-DSD Registry. A total of 614 (29%) met the above study inclusion criteria. Data regarding gonadectomy were available in 520 (85%). Of these, 158 (30%) (median age 24 yrs (range 17, 72)) were registered as male while 362 (70%) were female (median age 28 yrs (16, 90)). Gonadectomy was performed in 315 (61%) cases. Females had gonadectomy at a later median age of 14 yrs (0.3, 68) compared to median age of 5 yrs (0.1, 54) in males (P=0.047). Table 1 demonstrates the frequency and median age at time of gonadectomy for each condition. Gonadectomy was performed later in both males (median 15 vs 4 yrs, P=0.0004) and females (median 17 vs 8 yrs, P<0.0001) after the publication of the 2006 consensus statement on the management of DSD conditions.
| Females with gonadectomy (%) | Age at gonadectomy females (yrs, range) | Males with gonadectomy (%) | Age at gonadectomy males (yrs, range) | |
| Complete androgen insensitivity synd | 123/154 (80) | 15 (0.3,68) | 0/0 (0) | – |
| Complete gonadal dysgenesis | 55/69 (80) | 15 (0.3,21) | 2/7 (29) | 5 (4,5) |
| NSDUM | 6/6 (100) | 14 (3,26) | 3/22 (14) | 9 (6,10) |
| Partial androgen insensitivity synd | 26/29 (90) | 12 (1,24) | 3/41 (7) | 32 (10,54) |
| Partial gonadal dysgenesis | 23/26 (88) | 2 (0.3,21) | 15/51 (29) | 1 (0.1,13) |
| 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase def | 25/25 (100) | 11 (0.5,21) | 0/1 (0) | – |
| 5α reductase def | 11/14 (79) | 6 (2,17) | 0/5 (0) | – |
| Other | 16/39 (41) | 16 (1,21) | 7/31 (23) | 17 (10,26) |
Conclusions: Not only does the rate of gonadectomy vary from one diagnosis to another, it also seems that gonadectomy is performed at a later age than previously. A substantial proportion of young men and women with a range of DSD continue to retain gonads into adulthood.
