  • Title: Left ovarian cyst and right streak ovary in a neonate with a normal karyotype. Report of a case of neonatal Slotnick-Goldfarb syndrome or recessive gonadal dysgenesis.
    Author: Freud E, Zer M, Merlob P.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1994 Apr; 39(4):318-20. PubMed ID: 8040851.
    Abstract:
    A female neonate with a streak ovary on one side and huge ovarian cyst on the other side is presented. Her karyotype was 46,XX. Adnexectomy was mandatory, leaving the patient with a single streak gonad. Whether this infant has the recessive form of gonadal dysgenesis with one ovary, streak or hypoplastic, replaced by a cyst or the Slotnick-Goldfarb syndrome is impossible to elucidate at present. The potential implications of a streak gonad, either related to gonadal dysgenesis or as a possible source of neoplasia, are reviewed. Current approaches to an ovarian cyst and streak ovary in the neonatal period are discussed.
