Abstract

The intersex of Large White Yorkshire breed having abnormal external genitalia with enlarged clitoris was presented in this study. The detailed anatomical and cytogenetic studies were carried out. The internal genitalia had mainly developed as male tract though some female structures were also seen. The cytogenetic analysis of blood reveled 38, XX chromosome. The presence of intra abdominal and inguinal testes and uterus musculinus confirmed the intersexuality of male pseudohermaphroditism.
