Macroorchidism: consequence of untreated congenital adrenal hyperplasia

Indian Pediatr. 2012 Jul;49(7):577-8. doi: 10.1007/s13312-012-0096-3.

Abstract

Testicular adrenal rest tumors (TART) are consequences of delayed diagnosis and/or undertreatment in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). We describe a case of CAH with TART who presented with bilateral macroorchidism. He was managed with glucocorticoids which led to decrease in testicular size without restoration of spermatogenesis.
