Abstract

The seldom occurring androgen insensitivity syndrome is characterised by male karyotype in a phenotypical women. We report on a complete androgen insensitivity syndrome with the rare coincidence of bilateral Fallopian tubes and a testicular intraepithelial neoplasia. Additionally we discuss aspects of incidence, molecular background, characteristics, diagnostic pitfalls and therapy against the background of the current literature.
