This reportaims to illustrate the clinical management and the rare synchronous pathology of multiple gonadal tumors in a 60-year-old phenotypic female with long-standing CAIS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 60-year-old patient presented following the incidental detection of bilateral adnexal masses. Diagnosticevaluation included imaging (USG\/MRI) to assess internal reproductive organs and gonadal morphology, alongsidehormonal analysis (LH, testosterone, and estradiol). A laparoscopic bilateral gonadectomy was performed to managethe suspected neoplasia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Imaging demonstrated the absence of the uterus and ovaries, confi rming bilateral solid gonadal lesions.Hormonal analysis showed elevated LH with normal testosterone and estradiol levels. Histopathology of the excisedtissues revealed a complex and heterogeneous presentation: the left gonad contained a Sertoli cell tumor, a Leydigcell tumor, and sclerotic seminiferous tubules; the right gonad showed a Sertoli cell adenoma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This rare synchronous pathology illustrates the signifi cant heterogeneity of neoplasia associated withCAIS.
