    The document reported a case of a 13-year-old child with 46 XY Disorder of Sexual Development (DSD), who was raised as female and presented with hoarseness of voice and gradual enlargement of the clitoris. The hormonal assessment did not indicate 5 Alfa Reductase deficiency, Congenital Adrenal Insufficiency Syndrome, or 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase deficiency. This condition resulted from incomplete intrauterine masculinization, which could be due to decreased synthesis of testosterone or DHT, or impairment of androgen action.
