ABSTRACT
Testicular Adrenal Rest Tumors (TART) may play a role in fertility disturbances of patients with Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). We report a 17 years old male with classical CAH, diagnosed in the newborn period due to a salt wasting crisis with dehydration and severe hyponatremia. He was treated with cortisol and fludrocortisone with a low adherence to therapy. He had a precocious puberty and accelerated bone age, and was treated with a luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) analog during two years. At the age of 14 years, bilateral testicular masses were detected during the physical examination. Testicular color Doppler ultrasound showed the presence of TART. A new ultrasound at 17 years of age showed the persistence of adrenal rests and an abnormal testicular growth.
