TARTs in CAH

Few studies on exist on the prevalence of testicular adrenal rest tumours (TARTs) in boys and adolescent males with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Aycan and colleagues assessed the long-term treatment outcomes of this patient group in a cohort of sixty individuals. They found a TART prevalence of 18.3% from 4 years of age, which responded well to high-dose steroid treatment. They recommend ultrasound screening of CAH patients from a young age to prevent infertility in adulthood.
