Description
Haixia Qin and co-authors present a 2025 case report on partial androgen insensitivity syndrome, a rare condition of sex development. People with the condition carry a male chromosome pattern, yet their bodies respond only partly to male hormones. The report follows one patient's care and gathers sixteen more cases reported in China.
All seventeen patients came to care after their periods never arrived. Most showed an underdeveloped phallus or enlarged clitoris, and a few had breast growth. Twelve were raised and treated as women, with surgery and hormone therapy. The index patient had three staged operations, ending with a laparoscopic vaginoplasty built from peritoneum and a dermal graft. The review weighs gender choice and timing of surgery.
