Last edited: 4/10/2026

Overview

Feminization-adrenogenital syndrome is a term that appears to be a misnomer or an outdated classification. The provided abstract describes a hermaphroditic crustacean, Hutchinsoniella macracantha, which possesses both ovaries and testes that develop simultaneously. This organism exhibits a reproductive system where ova and sperm develop concurrently, with separate oviducts and vasa deferentia joining to exit via common genital ducts 1.

Diagnosis

  • Hermaphroditic species with simultaneous development of ova and sperm 1.
  • Separate ovaries and testes 1.
  • Common genital ducts for oviducts and vasa deferentia 1.
  • Management

  • No management strategies are discussed in the provided abstract.
  • Special Populations
