Abstract

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.

Resumen

Presentamos el caso de un varón de 29 años diagnosticado de hiperplasia suprarrenal congénita, que fue derivado a nuestra consulta por dolor testicular, masas testiculares bilaterales y oligospermia. La ecografía confirmó la existencia de lesiones heterogéneas e hipoecoicas con bordes irregulares y vascularización interna y periférica en ambos testículos. Los marcadores tumorales séricos fueron negativos.

El paciente fue programado para biopsia testicular perioperatoria y orquiectomía bilateral. La biopsia perioperatoria fue sugestiva de tumor testicular de restos suprarrenales y no se realizó ningún procedimiento adicional. Se inició tratamiento con altas dosis de glucocorticoides, disminuyó el tamaño de las masas testiculares y se alivió el dolor testicular.
