Abstract

Disorders of genital development occur in all mammals. Hermaphroditism is a condition where the subject has genital organs of both sexes. True hermaphrodites have both ovarian and testicular tissue. Pseudohermaphrodites have only one type of gonadal tissue according to which they are classified as male or female pseudohermaphrodites. Two cases of spontaneously occurring pseudohermaphroditism in Cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) were seen here during 1999-2001. Both animals had female external genitalia, but each was found to have testicular tissue.
