Macrogenitosomia

 
Macrogenitosomia: Condition in which the external sex organs are prematurely enlarged or abnormally enlarged. In males, it is caused by an excess of the hormone androgen during fetal development. In females, the clitoris may be enlarged enough to resemble a small penis. Macrogenitosomia is associated with hormonal disorders, which may also create changes in the internal sex organs.
