Abstract

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is an autosomal recessive disease most commonly associated with 21-hydroxylase deficiency, an enzyme integral in the biosynthesis of mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids. We present a case of a 49-year-old male with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and commonly associated findings of adrenal myelolipoma, testicular adrenal rest tumors, as well as primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease. Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare, benign disease process associated with exogenous steroid treatment noncompliance in the setting of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Testicular adrenal rest tumors are benign testicular tumors associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease is an ACTH-independent cortisol producing lesion. Our case emphasizes the association of congenital adrenal hyperplasia with adrenal myelolipoma and testicular adrenal rest tumors as well as the importance of familiarity with these associations to guide patient management.
