Resumen

Presentamos un caso de azoospermia secretora y masas testiculares bilaterales secundarias a hiperplasia adrenal congénita por déficit de 21-hidroxilasa en un varón de 37 años. La biopsia testicular fue informada como tumor de células de Leydig, pero se reconsideró el diagnóstico después de la información clínica, siendo el diagnóstico final de hiperplasia de restos adrenales en el testículo. Comentamos el diagnóstico diferencial con el tumor de células de Leydig insistiendo en la necesidad de diagnosticar esta lesión con una adecuada correlación clínica, analítica, radiológica e histológica.

Palabras clave:
Infertilidad
Hiperplasia de restos adrenales
Hiperplasia adrenal congénita

Abstract

We report the case of a 37-year-old man with infertility caused by bilateral testicular masses secondary to congenital adrenal hyperplasia (21-hydroxylase deficiency). Testicular biopsy was done and its was initially interpreted as Leydig cell tumor but after clinical information was histologically reclassified as tumor of the adrenogenital syndrome. The differential diagnosis with Leydig cell tumor is discussed and it must be established through the clinical, biochemical, radiological and pathological features.

Key words:
Infertility
Adrenal rest hyperplasia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Leydig cell tumor
Testicular neoplasm
