Background: Persons with CAH may be at increased risk of developing adrenal myelolipomas, particularly if their CAH is poorly controlled. Adrenal masses can be detected by ultrasound with high sensitivity and specificity. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) may be a useful method in the diagnostic work-up of adrenal mass with excellent sensitivity for the diagnosis of malignancy. However, ultrasound is not included in the diagnostic algorithm of patients with CAH.<p class=...
