Abstract
Androgen insensitivity syndrome is characterized by the presence of external female phenotype, 46,XY karyotype and intraabdominal testes. This syndrome is the third most frequent cause of primary amenorrhea, after gonadal dysgenesis and congenital absence of the vagina (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome). Androgen insensitivity syndrome is of interest due to its role in sexual identification and its possible association with malignant tumors of the male gonads, which require an accurate diagnosis and surgical treatment. We present two cases of androgen insensitivity syndrome. The results of the clinical and genetic examinations, as well as the treatment and follow-up of these two patients, are discussed.
