Testicular adrenal rest tumour, abbreviated TART, is a rare tumour associated with increased adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), typically seen in the context of congenital adrenal hyperplasia.[1]
General
- Very rare.
- Benign.[2]
- May overlap with Leydig cell tumour - see molecular section.
- Associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (abbreviated CAH).
Clinical:
- Serum ACTH elevated.
Gross
- Bilateral testicular masses.
Microscopic
Features:
- Nests of eosinophilic cells interspersed with thin bands of fibrous tissue.
- Mild (endocrine) nuclear atypia.
DDx:
- Leydig cell tumour - history different.
- Adrenal cortical rest - architecture different, not a sizable mass lesion and not bilateral.[citation needed]
