puberty
recovery from chronic illness/ starvatin
old age
A male with pseudohermphroditism due to absense of androgen receptors. Have cryptorchid testes. Elevation in serum testosterone
Testicular feminization
this deficiency causes males be unable to convert testosterone to a dihydrotestosterone resulting in a bifid scrotum, hypospadias. At puberty scrotum, phallus and muscle mass will enlarge though.
