Gonadoblastoma is a rare gonadal tumor composed of sex cord cells and primitive germ cells. While the majority of gonadoblastomas are found in individuals with 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis, they are also rarely seen in patients with a 46,XX karyotype. We report a case of a 14.5 year-old girl presenting with an uncommon cause of virilization; a virilizing ovarian tumor. The patient underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. Upon histopathological examination, the excised tumor was confirmed to be bilateral gonadoblastoma, with dysgerminoma on the left side.
