Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome is a rare X-linked recessive disorder. In patients with this syndrome, testicular tumors, especially seminoma, may develop after puberty. Gonadal malignancies like sertoli cell tumor, yolk sac tumor; embryonic teratoma and unclassified sex cord stromal tumor are rare in these patients. We present here, a case of complete androgen insensitivity syndrome with sertoli cell adenoma in a 25 years old patient who presented to us with history of primary amenorrhoea and bilateral inguinal swellings and was managed with bilateral gonadectomy.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njr.v1i1.6327 Nepalese Journal of Radiology Vol.1(1): 61-64

Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) could be considered as a disease that causes resistance to androgens actions, influencing both the morphogenesis and differentiation of the body structures, and systems in which this hormone exerts its effects. It depends on an X-linked mutations in the Androgen Receptor (AR) gene that express a variety of phenotypes ranging from male infertility to completely normal female external genitalia. The clinical phenotypes of AIS could vary and be classified into three categories, as complete (CAIS), partial (PAIS), and mild (MAIS) forms, according to the severity of androgen resistance. We will describe a case of CAIS in a 16-year-old patient.
