Abstract
- Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a rare X-linked recessive condition in which patients present a female phenotype. After complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) diagnosis, the timing of gonadectomy should be evaluated, considering the risks and benefits of this procedure. This paper reports an uncommon case of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome diagnosed belatedly in an adult patient. Surgical treatment was deemed necessary due to the elevated risk of gonadal malignancy.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.<br /> (Copyright © 2024, Fava Spessoto et al.)
