Abstract

INTRODUCTION
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) presenting with adrenal masses has been reported to be less than 0.4%. We report a 25-year-old diagnosed with simple virilizing Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) with bilateral adrenal masses.

CASE
A 25-year-old phenotypic male came in due to right flank pain. He has an ambiguous genitalia. He has male secondary features and was raised as male since birth. Karyotype showed a female genotype.

CONCLUSION
It is recommended that all patients with ambiguous genitalia be tested for karyotyping and evaluation should be undertaken as soon as possible for immediate management and intervention.
