Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) is defined as end organ resistance to androgens with XY karyotype. Our aim is to present the diagnosis and treatment of a delayed and misdiagnosed CAIS case and to determine the importance of family history. She was married woman with the complaint of infertility and primary amenorrhea. Patient who has undergone bilateral inguinal hernia operation; cannot be diagnosed with CAIS until the age of 25. When the family history is investigated, it has been learned that two elder sisters menstruate but 17-year-old sister doesn’t menstruate. It has been advised that she should apply to the university hospital, so she was diagnosed with CAIS for her. Teenage girls’ complaint of primary amenorrhea and bilateral inguinal hernia should be evaluated in terms of CAIS and family screening should be performed.
