Description
Summary:This study highlights the significance of testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) in the context of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). The case report of an 11-year-old male with bilateral scrotal enlargement underscores the diagnostic challenges and complexities involved. Through thorough clinical, radiological, and hormonal assessments, we elucidate the pathophysiology, prevalence, and potential impact on fertility. Early detection and management of TARTs are crucial for preserving testicular function. Regular scrotal ultrasound screenings are recommended to avert long-term complications in male CAH patients.
