a Adrenal computerized tomography scan shows bilateral adrenal hyperplasia with a left adrenal gland nodule (arrow). b Hypertrophied right adrenal gland (weight 41.8 grams, normal adrenal weight 4 - 6 grams). c Histopathology of the classic simple virilizing CAH adrenal shows preservation of the adrenal cortex zonation (ZG, zona glomerulosa; ZF, zona fasciculata; ZR, zona reticularis) and the inner medulla (M) (d) Histology of a healthy unaffected adrenal gland shows the outer cortex with characteristic zones (Hematoxylin and eosin stain, magnification 4X)

Fig1
The right adrenal gland weighed 41.8 grams (Fig. 1b) and the left gland 45.5 grams (normal adrenal gland weight 4 - 6 grams) (Fig. 1c). Her adrenal glands, despite generalized hypertrophy, maintained zonation with a small area of distinct medulla (Fig. 1d), consistent with her SV genotype.
