Sertoli cell tumor and intratubular germ cell neoplasia located in separate gonads in an adolescent patient with complete androgen insensitivity: a case report and review of literature.

Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is an X-linked disorder of sex development. Surgical management entails timely gonadectomy given the risk of malignant transformation. Our patient presented at age 15 years with primary amenorrhea. Initial laboratory testing showed elevated testosterone, luteinizing hormone, anti-Müllerian hormone levels, and 46,XY karyotype. Imaging studies showed no uterus, ovaries, and identified two candidate gonads. She underwent bilateral gonadectomy. Pathology reports revealed Sertoli cell and intratubular germ cell tumors located in separate gonads. Our case is the first report of the youngest patient with AIS with bilateral gonadal tumors derived from different histological origins. We also review literature for reports of AIS patients with gonadal tumors. Currently, there is no consensus for the timing of gonadectomy in AIS patients. However, given the varying potential for malignant transformation of gonads in AIS patients with different phenotypes, development of a standardized treatment guideline is indicated.
