benign testicular growths linked to congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH)

Testicular Adrenal Rest Tumors (TART) are benign growths found in the testes, often associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). These tumors arise from adrenal-like cells that are abnormally located in the testes and can lead to complications such as testicular pain, infertility, and hormonal imbalances.
