Sex cord tumour with annular tubules (SCTAT) is a rare stromal tumour of the sex cord that occurs mostly in the ovaries.<BR>A 16-year-old girl presented to the gynaecology department with primary amenorrhea. Gynaecological examination revealed an enlarged clitoris that looked like a small penis. The chromosome karyotype was chimaera. The postoperative pathology confirmed true hermaphroditism with SCTAT. The patient underwent hormonal replacement after an operation and had no evidence of recurrence for 6 months.<BR>Cases of true hermaphroditism with SCTAT are extremely rare conditions.
