Testicular Adrenal Rest Tumors (TARTS) With Unusual Histological Features in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) patients with testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) with testicular enlargement present a serious diagnostic challenge. According to the data TARTs are usually benign. They are rare, resulting in paucity in the medical literature regarding their pathological features. We report a case of bilateral synchronous mass-forming TARTs with marked cytological and n...
متن کاملTesticular Adrenal Rest Tumours in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
In adult patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), the presence of testicular adrenal rest tumours (TART) is an important complication leading to gonadal dysfunction and infertility. These tumours can be already found in childhood and puberty. In this paper, we review the embryological, histological, biochemical, and clinical features of TART and discuss treatment options.
متن کاملTesticular Adrenal Rest Tumors in Patients with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia refers to a group of autosomal recessive disorders caused by a deficiency of an enzyme involved in the synthesis of glucocorticoids. The enzyme deficiency generally leads to a deficiency of cortisol and/or aldosterone production within the adrenal cortex. The lack of glucocorticoids generally leads to elevated levels of plasma corticotropin (ACTH), which often res...
متن کاملCongenital 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...
متن کاملDiagnosis and prevalence of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) in Austrian children screened or not screened for CAH
Prevalence of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is not exactly known in the Austria; a number of patients with CAH might not be diagnosed, especially males. CAH is in about 95 % of the cases due to a defect in the 21hydroxylation (‘classical CAH’). Newborn screening for CAH, based on the measurement of 17a-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) was shown to be efficient for diagnosis, and is part of t...
