title: Androgen insensitivity syndrome with serous gonadal cyst.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To present a patient with androgen insensitivity syndrome with serous gonadal cyst who underwent laparoscopic surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  University hospital.
  
  
  METHODS
  An 18-year-old female with a history of primary amenorrhea.
  
  
  METHODS
  Laparoscopic gonadectomy.
  
  
  METHODS
  Diagnosis and surgical approach to gonadal cyst.
  
  
  RESULTS
  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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We reported a case of laparoscopic gonadectomy for cystic mass in the gonad of a patient with androgen insensitivity syndrome.
