Testicular feminization: the androgen insensitivity syndrome.

Abstract:

:Testicular feminization (TF) is a syndrome due to androgen insensitivity. It occurs in a complete (CTF) and an incomplete (ITF) form. We have treated 21 patients with TF over the last 24 years. Eight patients presented because of ambiguous genitalia, seven presented as "females" with inguinal hernia and testes were found at surgery, five were diagnosed by karyotyping performed for a family history of TF, and one presented with an incarcerated hernia and primary amenorrhea. Two patients had prior surgery for inguinal hernia but the diagnosis was not recognized. All patients had a 46,XY karyotype. Patients with CTF were phenotypically female while those with ITF had a variable appearance of the external genitalia depending on the degree of androgen insensitivity. Seventeen patients underwent gonadectomy and one patient planned for delayed gonadectomy was lost to follow-up. Seventeen patients had been raised as females since birth. One patient with ambiguous genitalia, who was initially raised as a male, was reassigned female gender at 1 year of age when the diagnosis of ITF was made. Three patients were raised as males even after the diagnosis of ITF was made. Patients raised as males underwent multiple genital reconstructive procedures with poor results. In view of the poor anatomic and functional results of genital reconstructive surgery and the consequent psychological problems, patients with TF should be raised as female. Careful evaluation of infants with ambiguous genitalia and documentation of absent fallopian tubes in "females" presenting with inguinal hernia will lead to early diagnosis of TF, correct sex assignment, and early gonadectomy.
