Idiopathic isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency combined with testicular germ cell tumor: Case report
This report suggests that there may be a potential association between alopecia areata, IAD, and testicular germ cell tumors and that the pathogenesis may be related to the autoimmune response induced by paraneoplastic syndrome. Clinically, patients with IAD of unknown etiology need to be carefully screened for the possibility of neoplastic disease in all systems.
