Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) can lead to challenges in diagnosing individuals with a 46, XY karyotype who appear female due to their inability to respond to androgens.
A case report details how a patient was misdiagnosed during surgery and later incorrectly identified as having another syndrome, but was ultimately given the correct diagnosis and a management plan that postponed surgery until after puberty.
The report emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing CAIS, calling for improved awareness and personalized treatment plans to provide effective, patient-centered care.
