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.
