Pure seminoma in the setting of androgen insensitivity syndrome treated with surgical resection and para-aortic radiation: A case report and review of literature
Complete androgen insensitivity is a rare X-linked disorder
characterized by a female phenotype in a chromosomally male individual.
Malignant transformation of the un-descended testis is a rare phenomena
compared to other inter-sex syndromes. This is a case of a 32-year-old
female who was diagnosed with androgen insensitivity and presented to
the emergency room with pelvic pain. Later the pelvic pain was found to
be due to testicular masses, one of which was pure seminoma. We
reviewed the literature emphasizing the biochemical and endocrinologic
abnormalities leading to the syndrome, as well as the potential for
malignant changes of the un-descended testes, diagnosis, and
therapeutic management. We discuss the importance of early diagnosis
and the consequence associated with misdiagnosis
