Prevalence of testicular microlithiasis in males with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and its association with testicular adrenal rest tumors.

abstract：BACKGROUND/AIMS:Autoimmune hypophysitis (AH) is a rare inflammatory disease of the pituitary gland causing varying degrees of hypopituitarism and/or sellar compression. Cranial MRI remains the best noninvasive tool to diagnose AH, although a diagnosis of certainty requires pituitary biopsy. The objective of this study ...
