Abstract

Atypical genitalia in a boy may have a very wide and diverse aetiology and a definitive diagnosis is often challenging to reach. Detailed clinical evaluation integrated with extensive biochemical and genetic studies play an important role in this process. Such care should be undertaken in highly specialized centres that can also provide access to a multidisciplinary team for optimal long-term care.
