Ectopic Adrenocortical Tissue Attached to the Inguinal Sac in an Adult

Abstract

Inguinal localization of ectopic adrenal tissue is a rare condition in literature. We report an unusual case of a 28-year-old male patient with ectopic adrenocortical tissue, which was noticed coincidentally as a orangeyellowish nodule during surgery of inguinal hernia and resected for patological examination.
