Zusammenfassung
Das Androgeninsensitivitätssyndrom (testikuläre Feminisierung) ist ein insgesamt seltenes
Krankheitsbild, welches charakterisiert ist durch Patienten mit einem männlichen Karyotyp
aber weiblichen Phänotyp. Wir schildern den Fall eines kompletten Androgeninsensitivitätssyndroms
mit dem seltenen Zufallsbefund von beidseits angelegten Tuben und einer testikulären
intraepithelialen Neoplasie in den exstirpierten Gonaden. Außerdem werden Aspekte
der Inzidenz, molekularbiologischen Grundlagen, Ausprägung, Diagnosestellung und Therapie
vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Literatur diskutiert.
Abstract
The seldom occurring androgen insensitivity syndrome is characterised by male karyotype
in a phenotypical women. We report on a complete androgen insensitivity syndrome with
the rare coincidence of bilateral Fallopian tubes and a testicular intraepithelial
neoplasia. Additionally we discuss aspects of incidence, molecular background, characteristics,
diagnostic pitfalls and therapy against the background of the current literature.
