On physical examination: Tanner 1 breasts; Tanner 1 axillary and pubic hair; female apparent external genitalia without secondary development, smooth labia majora, without roughness, without increased pigmentation; with small non-visible labia minora; hysteroscopy that reported: presence of complete hymen, normal vagina; Small cervix, with normal endocervical canal, without passing into the cavity of the uterus. Peripheral blood karyotype: 46, XY.
