Possibly when a person is genetically male but with a female body type or genetically female with a male body type. There are also the various ambiguous chromosomal types like XXY.

Here's an excerpt from an article that has become a kind of urban legend, written in 1996 by William O. Beeman, associate professor of anthropology at Brown University, entitled "What Are You: Male, Merm, Herm, Ferm or Female?"

"...there are perhaps millions of XX males and XY females living in the United States today. These are cultural males with male genitalia who are genetically female, and cultural females with female genitalia who are genetically male. The film star Jamie Lee Curtis is one well-known individual who is genetically male, but phenotypically female."

Everything living thing in nature has male / female parts. To be neither male or female is a creature of science fiction.

When he/she is bisexual; having both the female and male organs. Until he or she selects what gender he/she wants and undergo an operation to remove the other organ, then one cannot say that he/she is neither man or woman.

When that person is a child! (literally!; when we are children, no one refers to us as men or women, we are just children!)
