Yes, it has been observed in many species like horses, dogs and cats. Those animals are born with apparent normal female genitalia, but fail to come into season as they dont have ovaries but testicles inside. It is very rare, and like in humans its an x linked disorder, so it is passed through the maternal line. However it is not called androgen insensitivity syndrom but testicular feminization or male pseudo-hermaphroditism.

What is androgen insensitivity?
Androgen insensitivity describes the condition by which an XY fetus never receives the signals from the mother's body that are supposed to let their body mold itself into a boy. The term "androgen insensitive" means their bodies cannot detect the androgen the mother released in response to their Y chromosome. The subsequent children look and act like girls, because they are girls, though ones with an inability to reproduce. The first sign anything is wrong is not getting a menstruation cycle, and this is when the now teenager finds out they are infertile. Each case must be evaluated individually, but most androgen insensitive individuals find they are not hindered in any alternative family planning goal they wish. They marry, or not, adopt children, or not, and have no more members discovering they are gay than is normally distributed in the population. There is no reason for anyone to feel strange about what is, to the body, no different than some people wheezing after eating strawberries or shellfish.

Is there some kind of disease that inhibits puberty?
There are many things that can inhibit or delay pubertal development: * Constitutional variance, normal delay caused by nothing other than genetics and various other factors. These kids are referred to as "late bloomers" and will eventually develope normally. * System diseases such as Inflammatory bowel disease, chronic renal failure, cystic fibrosis. * Endocrine disorders such as Cushing's disease, androgen insensitivity syndrome. * Hypopituitarism * Prader-Willi Syndrome, Kallmann Syndrome * Defects of the Gonads such as Turner's Syndrome, mumps orchitis, or damage from trauma or chemo therapy. * Malnutrition This is by no means an all-inclusive list. If you have any concerns about delayed puberty in a child, they should be seen and evaluated by their pediatrician and/or a pediatric endocrinologist.

If a woman had the same type of cancer as Lance Armstrong what would it be called?
Ovarian cancer could be considered the female equivalent to testicular cancer, as they are essentially homologous organs. (that is, they share a "common ancestry" embyologically, and they are both gonads and endocrine glands) Depending on how one interprets it, it is theoretically possible for a woman to have to have testicular cancer. One suffering from intersexuality "disorders" like complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) - genetically a male with undescended testes, but with a vagina and outward female appearance - or Klinefelter's syndrome - instead of XY (male) or XX (female) chromosomes, one has XXY - can get testicular cancer.
