This is a report of a 13-year-old 45,X/46,XY patient who was assigned as female gender and had feminizing surgery during infancy. Psychological problems became progressively more severe from childhood to incapitation by age 13 years. Gender identity reversal was performed after extensive physiological testing. Because he wanted to have corrective surgery, his external genitalia sex reassignment was made male from female. There were Surgical problems with his phalloplasty; after surgery at infancy there was reduction of the phallus with recession of the glans to the typical clitoral location. Genital response during sexual activity and satisfaction after reconstructive surgery for male genitalia are as yet unknown. This patient is a typical example for medical, psychological and surgical dilemmas of sex reassignment and the problems of early corrective surgery. Sufficient brain virilisation associated with undervirilised external genitalia is an important problem for assignment of gender identity.
