Transsexualism; new observations.

Ten cases of transsexualism have been studied. All the patients present gonadal lesions, modifications of the morphotype and small hormonologic anomalies. It is supposed that the gonadal lesions are frequently associated with this psycho-behavioural disorder. Thus transsexualism may be considered a trouble of the whole process of post gonadal sexualization.

A histopathological, cytochemical and morphometrical study of the androgenic polycystic ovary.

The authors studied histopathologically, cytoenzymologically and morphometrically 64 cases of androgenic polycystic ovaries. The distinctive sign disclosed was a marked hyperplasia of theca interna. The mean values of this latter in the androgenic polycystic ovaries was of 87 mu +/- 19 as compared to that of 75 mu +/- 18 found for theca interna in the ovarian follicular cysts unaccompanied by endocrine symptoms. Large lipid-rich cells--the so-called androgenic cells--were often present in the polycystic ovary. Cytoenzymologically a high activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was assayed in theca interna and in the androgenic paralutein cells, while the lowest activity was shown by the 3beta-ol-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase.
