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.
本研究强调了睾丸肾上腺残余肿瘤(TARTs)在先天性肾上腺皮质增生症(CAH)背景下的重要性。一名11岁男性双侧阴囊增大的病例报告突显了其中涉及的诊断挑战和复杂性。通过全面的临床、放射学和激素评估,我们阐明了其病理生理学、患病率以及对生育能力的潜在影响。TARTs的早期检测和管理对于保护睾丸功能至关重要。建议对男性CAH患者定期进行阴囊超声筛查,以避免长期并发症。
