| Popis: | We report a case of congenital adrenal hyperplasia in a 29 year old patient, who presented with testicular pain, bilateral testicular masses, and oligospermia. Ultrasonography confirmed, in both testis, the presence of heterogeneous and hypoechoic lesions with irregular borders and internal and peripheral vascularization. Seric tumor markers were negative. The patient was scheduled for perioperative testicular biopsy and bilateral orchiectomy. Perioperative biopsy was suggestive of testicular adrenal rest tumor and not additional procedure was performed. Treatment was initiated with high doses of glucocorticoids, decreasing the size of testicular masses and testicular pain was alleviated. |
