Abstract:True hermaphrodite is one of the rare gonadal as well as genital abnormality due to a defect in sexual differentiation. Here, we are reporting the most unusual type of true hermaphrodite diagnosed at the age of 25 years during operation for undescended testis, presenting as a case of infertility and failure to ejaculate during sexual intercourse. The patient was found to have grossly as well as histologically proven left ovary, left fallopian tube and uterus as well as a well descended left testis, with totally absent either right fallopian tube and ovary or testis. Thus, this is unusual finding to ratify the occurrence of true hermaphrodite in the absence of ambiguous external genitalia.
