A Case of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Mimicking Cushing's Syndrome
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is characterized by decreased adrenal hormone production due to enzymatic defects and subsequent rise of adrenocorticotrophic hormone that stimulates the adrenal cortex to become hyperplastic, and sometimes tumorous. As the pathophysiology is basically a defect in the biosynthesis of cortisol, one may not consider CAH in patients with hypercortisolism. We re...
متن کاملAdrenocortical hyperplasia in childhood.
Adrenocortical hyperplasia is uncommon in childhood. It occurs as the adrenogenital syndrome (congenital virilism in girls) which has now been shown to be due to a congenital defect in the synthesis of cortisol by the adrenal cortex. In the United States its incidence is once in every 58,000 live births (Grumbach, 1956) and it has a recessive mode of inheritance. The disease is more easily diag...
متن کاملPITUITARY DEPENDENT CUSHING\'S SYNDROME IN IRAN

The treatment of patients with Cushing's disease depends on the presence or absence of pituitary tumor. Ifno pituitary tumor is demonstrated, irradiation can be given to the pituit...
متن کاملA Case of Bilateral Testicular Tumors Subsequently Diagnosed as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency
21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) caused congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive genetic disorders resulting from mutations in genes involved with cortisol (CO) synthesis in the adrenal glands. Testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) are rarely the presenting symptoms of CAH. Here, we describe a case of simple virilizing CAH with TARTs, in a 15-year-old boy. The p...
متن کاملBone Health in Endocrine Diseases Associated with Androgen Excess: A Narrative Review
Introduction: Osteoporosis is humans' most common bone tissue disease that causes bone fractures. Based on the evidence, a combination of genetic and environmental factors, hormonal disorders such as estrogen deficiency, malnutrition, inflammatory factors, drugs, and physical inactivity are related to the pathogenesis of this disease. The present study aimed to review the effects of androgens a...
