The Sertoli cell in mixed gonadal dysgenesis

Obstet Gynecol. 1979 Mar;53(3):324-9.

Abstract

Since 1937, over 100 cases of mixed gonadal dysgenesis have been described. Thus far, no correlation has been made between the light and electron microscopic morphology of the gonad and the appearance of the ipsilateral internal genitalia. In the case presented in this paper the presence or absence of the Sertoli cell in the ipsilateral gonad correlates with the morphology of the internal genitalia on that side.
