A case of androgen-secreting adrenal carcinoma with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia

Non-Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia in Childhood

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is classified as classical CAH and non-classical CAH (NCCAH). In the classical type, the most severe form comprises both salt-wasting and simple virilizing forms. In the non-classical form, diagnosis can be more confusing because the patient may remain asymptomatic or the condition may be associated with signs of androgen excess in the postnatal period or in...

a case of congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia

lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia (lipoid cah), a rare disorder of steroid biosynthesis, is the most severe form of cah. in this disorder the synthesis of glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids and sex steroids is impaired which result in adrenal failure, severe salt wasting crisis and hyperpigmentation in phenotypical female infants irrespective of genetic sex. in this report, we presented a ...

Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia and Schmid Metaphyseal Chondrodysplasia in a Child

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of hereditary diseases, which are autosomal recessive. CAH occurs due to defect in one of the cortisol coding genes and often clinically presents itself with signs of androgen overproduction. In this article, we report a case of CAH and Schmid metaphyseal dysplasia. Our literature review indicated that this report is the first attempt on CYP11B1 a...
