Abstract
Androgen insensitivity syndrome is characterized by the presence of a female phenotype, masculine gonads, and 46,XY karyotype. This syndrome is the most common cause of masculine pseudohermaphroditism and is the third most frequent cause of primary amenorrhea after gonadal dysgenesis and congenital absence of the vagina. The importance of this entity lies in its early diagnosis in puberty because of the risk of testicular tumors. In this article, we present a case of late diagnosis of androgen insensitivity syndrome related to Sertoli cell adenoma.
