Androgen-Insensitivity Syndrome* ; Male

The Sex or sexuality is very complex subject. From a biological standpoint, the appearance of the external genitalia is only one parameter. Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS), the most common form of male pseudohermaphroditism, embodies the multifaceted nature of this concept. Patients usually present with 46, XY karyotype with bilateral testes, female external genitalia, a shortened vagina, absent or rudimentary mullerian derivatives, normal breast development, and absent or scant pubic and axillary hair, as was the case in the patient presented herein. Prevalence ranges from 1 :20,400 to 1 :62,400 births. Its management often requires a multidisciplinary approach. Aside from addressing health risks, the psychosexual, social and ethical aspects of this condition should also be dealt with.
ANDROGEN INSENSITIVITY SYNDROME

Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) is a disorder wherein a patient presents with a female phenotype but is actually genetically male with an XY karyotype. Typically, AIS is diagnosed at the beginning of second decade, when a phenotypically female patient complains of amenorrhea. It is extremely rare to make a first diagnosis of AIS after the fifth decade of life. This case report presents a 62-year old female who consulted because of primary amenorrhea and intraabdominal mass. Patient was diagnosed with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome based on physical exam findings, imaging studies, endocrine tests and karyotyping. She underwent exploratory laparotomy, adhesiolysis and bilateral orchiectomy. This report will discuss diagnosis and appropriate management of patients with Complete Androgen Insensitivity.
Androgen-Insensitivity Syndrome

Androgen insensitivity syndrome is an X-linked recessive condition resulting in a failure of normal masculinization of the external genitalia in a chromosomally male individual. We describe two phenotypically female siblings aged 27 and 18 years, who presented with primary amenorrhea. The older sibling first consulted because of her desire to be pregnant while her younger sibling consulted upon the physician’s advice. Clinical presentation, physical examination, hormonal and imaging studies and a male (46XY) karyotype confirmed the diagnosis of Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) in both individuals. Both of them underwent exploratory laparotomy with histopathology confirming presence of immature testicular tissue. Hormone replacement therapy was then started. Both were advised to undergo psychosocial counseling and both chose to be women. This case report is significant since there are only a few local case reports about siblings presenting with this condition.
