Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Genetics
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS) is a disorder of sex development.
  • Individuals with PAIS have a 46,XY karyotype but varying degrees of feminization.

Observation:

  • A phenotypically female patient presented with genital ambiguity, including a peniform clitoris and urogenital sinus.
  • Initial investigations revealed normal hormone levels and androgen response tests.
  • Imaging and laparoscopy confirmed the absence of internal female genitalia.

Findings:

  • Gonadal biopsy revealed testicles with Leydig cell hyperplasia and thickened basal membranes.
  • Surgical intervention included bilateral orchiectomy and genital plasty.
  • Post-operative outcomes were satisfactory, enabling normal sexual intercourse.

Implications:

  • Successful genital plasty can lead to positive gender identity and satisfactory sexual function in PAIS patients.
  • This case highlights the importance of comprehensive diagnostic and surgical management for intersex conditions.
  • Further research into long-term psychosocial outcomes is warranted.
