Transsexualism is a variety and complexity of conditions to the desire for sex change and may require medical treatments over psychological evaluations in some patients. Consequently, there is a potential confusion in the determination of anatomical sex in transsexuals arising from administration of hormone and/or sex reassignment surgery. In this article, we represent a case of a 52-year-old "woman"found dead on the road-side. "She"was naked on the scene and supposed to be murdered by strangulation of he neck. Surprisingly, autopsy findings as well as DNA typing revealed that "she"was transsexual once a man. We discuss medicolegal problems posed by medico-surgical treatment in transsexuals.
Key Words: Determination of sex, Transsexualism, Sex reassignment surgery, Autopsy
