One of the most challenging areas in pediatric testicular pathology is the appropriate understanding and pathological diagnosis of disorders of sexual development (DSD), and in particular, the issue of gonadal dysgenesis. Here we present the main concepts necessary for their understanding and appropriate classification, with extensive genetic correlations.
