A 17-year-old male diagnosed with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) at the age of six months presented to the endocrine clinic with pain and swelling in both testes. When he was seven years old he developed signs of precocious puberty and was treated with triptorelin 3.75 mg (intramuscular) once a month between 2007 and 2011. He was asked to continue long-term treatment with hydrocortisone (three times daily) 10/5/5 mg and fludrocortisone 100 mg (once daily). However, he was not regular with his medication. Except for morbid obesity (body mass index = 51 kg/m2), his systemic examination was normal. Both testes were swollen and tender on palpation. Images of the ultrasound and Doppler of the left testes are shown [Figure 1 and 2].
