Testicular Adrenal Rest Tumor Mimicking Leydig Cell Tumor in a Patient with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

Testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) are may have serious consequences in patients with CAH. They probably develop from ectopic remnants of intratesticular adrenal tissue, which might be stimulated by the rise of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Their histo...

The child with testicular enlargement in the absence of gonadotrophin stimulation presents a difficult diagnostic dilemma. Leydig cell tumors, Leydig cell hyperplasia, and tumors of adrenal rest tissue are the primary etiologic considerations. Because of considerable overlap in clinical presentation, careful biochemical and histologic evaluations are necessary to make the diagnosis. These shoul...
متن کاملCongenital adrenal hyperplasia and Leydig cell tumor of testis. Case report and review of literature.
Adrenogenital Syndrome, more properly defined as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), is related to the enzyme 21-beta-hydroxylase deficiency, with impaired glucocorticoids and aldosterone syntheses and increased ACTH synthesis. This report describes a case of a monorchid patient suffering from Adrenogenital Syndrome and Leydig cell tumor of his testis. A right orchidectomy with implantation o...
