This case report reviews two patients diagnosed with 46,XY pure gonadal dysgenesis, also known as Swyer syndrome. The first patient underwent laparotomy for gonadal extirpation, which revealed the presence of bilateral gonadoblastomas and dysgerminomas. The second case is notable for the discovery of endometriosis on the mesosalpinx, a finding that had not been previously described in association with this specific form of gonadal dysgenesis. Relevance to endometriosis: listed as one indication for GnRH antagonists, though the paper's main focus is uterine fibroids.
