Abstract
Adrenal tissue ectopia is uncommon. Its incidence in adults is not known, but there are 9 case reports in the international medical literature on ectopic adrenal tissue in the hernial sac.
We present herein 2 cases of ectopic adrenal tissue in the hernial sac of the spermatic cord, reviewing its pathogenesis, and attempting to justify the medical importance of its report in the literature.
Two men in the third decade of life underwent left inguinal hernioplasty and varicocelectomy with a histopathologic report of adrenal tissue nodules along the extension of spermatic cord lipoma.
Despite the low frequency of these cases, extirpation of the ectopic tissue is recommended, given that cases of neoplasia and endocrinologic complications due to this type of ectopia have been documented.
