Objective: To present a patient with androgen insensitivity syndrome with serous gonadal cyst who underwent laparoscopic surgery.
Design: Case report.
Setting: University hospital.
Patient(s): An 18-year-old female with a history of primary amenorrhea.
Intervention(s): Laparoscopic gonadectomy.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Diagnosis and surgical approach to gonadal cyst.
Result(s): Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of a 4-cm cystic smooth mass close to the right external iliac vein and artery. We performed laparoscopic bilateral gonadectomy. The pathological findings suggested that the serous gonadal cyst was formed by occlusion of the glandular duct in the right gonad.
Conclusion(s): We reported a case of laparoscopic gonadectomy for cystic mass in the gonad of a patient with androgen insensitivity syndrome.

Testicular leiomyoma is an exceptionally rare finding in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS). Here, we present a report of a 30-year-old individual diagnosed with complete AIS who presented with an inguinal mass subsequently identified as a right sided testicular leiomyoma. While leiomyoma are generally considered benign, controversies persist regarding the potential for malignancy in inguinal masses among AIS patients.

Recently, the knowledge of the genetic basis of fertility disorders has expanded enormously, mainly thanks to the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS). However, the genetic cause of infertility, in the majority of patients, is still undefined. The aim was to identify novel and recurrent pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in patients with isolated infertility or puberty delay using a targeted NGS technique.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a heterogeneous disease that exhibits androgen sensitivity and responsiveness to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, ADT induces only temporary remission, and the majority of PCa cases eventually progress to castration-resistant PCa (CRPC). During the development and progression of CRPC, androgen sensitivity and androgen receptor (AR) dependency in PCa cells are often deceased or lost due to ADT or spontaneously arising AR variants even before starting ADT.

Inadequate response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) frequently arises in prostate cancer, driven by cellular mechanisms that remain poorly understood. Here, we integrated single-cell RNA sequencing, single-cell multiomics, and spatial transcriptomics to define the transcriptional, epigenetic, and spatial basis of cell identity and castration response in the mouse prostate. Leveraging these data along with a meta-analysis of human prostates and prostate cancer, we identified cellular orthologs and key determinants of ADT response and resistance.
