Abstract

A 23-year-old twin brother visited our hospital for the evaluation of anosmia and delayed secondary sexual maturation. They show eunuchoid apperance, gynecomastia, micropenis and scanty pubic hair. On hormonal study, they show findings of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. So they were treated with HCG for 3 months and thereafter with testosterone. Herein we report a case of Kallman's syndrome in twin brother.
