Abstract
The first cases of congenital adrenal hyperplasia III with variable clinical manifestations in female monozygotic twins are presented. Twin “A” revealed severe hypertrophy of the clitoris, labial fusion and a visible introitus. However, twin “B” manifested moderate clitoral hypertrophy, a visible introitus and no labial fusion. Neither infant had palpable gonads.
