Zusammenfassung:Swyer syndrome is a rare form of primary amenorrhea resulting from gonadal dysgenesis. It is characterized by the presence of a female phenotype with a 46, XY karyotype. In our case, CT scans revealed the absence of the uterus and bilateral ovaries of the 16-year-old female patient. Calcific nodules were found in both inguinal areas, which were suspected to be calcified atrophic testes. A chromosomal study confirmed the diagnosis of Swyer syndrome. Herein, we report a rare case of Swyer syndrome.
