Abstract: Feminizing Testicular Syndrome is a very rare genetic disease of recessive transmission linked to the X chromosome, currently called Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS). The affected subjects are apparently normal women, but with a 46 XY male karyotype with ectopic testicles. Through a case of “AIS revealed” by a germ tumor (GT) on an ectopic testicle in a 33-year-old patient who underwent a bilateral orchidectomy.
