Abstract
Klinefelter syndrome is the most frequent sex chromosome anomaly. Affected men characteristically present a tall stature, eunuchoid contours with feminine fat distribution, gynecomastia, hypogonadism, infertility, and behavioral and psychiatric disorders. Diagnosis is confirmed by karyotype, which demonstrates an extra X chromosome. Treatment is mainly directed toward appropriate defeminization. Current treatment consists of testosterone replacement therapy and surgical correction of gynecomastia.
