Including patients with ambiguous genitalia the incidence was 53 per cent. When patients with ambiguous genitalia were excluded, providing a group more representative of the patient population usually seen by the urologist, a diagnosis of intersexuality was made in 27 per cent. The concomitant occurrence of hypospadias and cryptorchidism should alert the urologist to evaluate the patient for the presence of intersexuality. © 1976 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited BySekaran P, O'Toole S, Flett M and Cascio S (2018) Increased Occurrence of Disorders of Sex Development, Prematurity and Intrauterine Growth Restriction in Children with Proximal Hypospadias Associated with Undescended TestesJournal of Urology, VOL. 189, NO. 5, (1892-1896), Online publication date: 1-May-2013.Cox M, Coplen D and Austin P (2018) The Incidence of Disorders of Sexual Differentiation and Chromosomal Abnormalities of Cryptorchidism and Hypospadias Stratified by Meatal LocationJournal of Urology, VOL. 180, NO. 6, (2649-2652), Online publication date: 1-Dec-2008.McALEER I and KAPLAN G (2018) IS ROUTINE KARYOTYPING NECESSARY IN THE EVALUATION OF HYPOSPADIAS AND CRYPTORCHIDISM?Journal of Urology, VOL. 165, NO. 6 Part 1, (2029-2032), Online publication date: 1-Jun-2001.KAEFER M, DIAMOND D, HENDREN W, VEMULAPALLI S, BAUER S, PETERS C, ATALA A and RETIK A (2018) THE INCIDENCE OF INTERSEXUALITY IN CHILDREN WITH CRYPTORCHIDISM AND HYPOSPADIAS: STRATIFICATION BASED ON GONADAL PALPABILITY AND MEATAL POSITIONJournal of Urology, VOL. 162, NO. 3 Part 2, (1003-1006), Online publication date: 1-Sep-1999.Rohatgi M, Menon P, Verma I and Iyengar J (2018) The Presence of Intersexuality in Patients with Advanced Hypospadias and Undescended GonadsJournal of Urology, VOL. 137, NO. 2, (263-267), Online publication date: 1-Feb-1987.Fallon B, Welton M and Hawtrey C (2018) Congenital Anomalies Associated with CryptorchidismJournal of Urology, VOL. 127, NO. 1, (91-93), Online publication date: 1-Jan-1982.Martin D (2018) Editorial CommentJournal of Urology, VOL. 127, NO. 1, (93-93), Online publication date: 1-Jan-1982.Rajfer J (2018) Editorial CommentJournal of Urology, VOL. 127, NO. 6, (1106-1106), Online publication date: 1-Jun-1982.Bauer S, Bull M and Retik A (2018) Hypospadias: A Familial StudyJournal of Urology, VOL. 121, NO. 4, (474-477), Online publication date: 1-Apr-1979.Cattolica E and Solomon I (2018) The Urologic Manifestations of XO/XY MosaicismJournal of Urology, VOL. 120, NO. 1, (103-105), Online publication date: 1-Jul-1978.
