description INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: The partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (PAIS) is a rare genetic disorder, which needs to be diagnosed early and provided suitable treatment. One-stage sex reassignment surgery can be considered as one of the treatment options for PAIS patients. CASE PRESENTATION: A 44-year-old patient with PAIS was admitted to our hospital. After getting a consultation, the patient decided to choose the one-stage sex reassignment surgery to be reassigned to be a female. The surgery consisted of breast augmentation and genital surgery. After 8 months of follow-up, the patient's breast had a desired shape and volume. The clitoris was in normal size with normal sensation, and the neovagina was 8 cm in depth with a smooth mucosal surface. We also observed that the minor labia were symmetric. The patient reported achieving orgasms with sex toys. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The one-stage sex reassignment surgery for the PAIS patient is safe and reduces treatment time for patients. It could also bring many benefits to the patients, such as reducing the incision, preventing gonadoblastoma and giving a sense of the patient's female gender which helps the patient feel confident and improve her quality of life. Thus, the one-stage surgery should be indicated for the patient at middle-aged who shouldn't be delayed anymore to have normal female breast and external genitalia. CONCLUSION: The one-stage sex reassignment surgery was performed safely and successfully on the delayed presentation of the PAIS patient. This could be an effective and appropriate approach to treat late-diagnosed PAIS patients.
