A phenomenon of XY phenotype of Turner syndrome, which only in ~50% has classic XO phenotype, does exist... This is a mosaicism, in fact, XO/XY. Here is the link to a PubMed article... Hope it helps: http://jmg.bmj.com/cgi/content/extract/38/11/e41
In any case, Turners with XY phenotype require prophylactic ovariectomy...
