We present a case of a woman with a history of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) diagnosed at the
age of 12, who was referred to our unit for surgical treatment. Despite the initial diagnosis was an indirect
inguinal hernia, it was a misdiagnosis. Once in our service, this was corrected into clitoromegaly
secondary to CAH. Physical examination and imaging test discarded other abnormalities, such as secondary
effects androgenization. Regarding surgical treatment, the techniques used were Spencer and
Allen combined with Kumar, which are the most used for clitoroplasty but also less used in Peru.
