ACCESSORY ADRENAL CORTICAL TISSUE: AN INCIDENTAL FINDING IN HERNIAL SAC
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Accessory adrenal tissue is commonly seen in children during groin explorations; however it is a rare finding in adults. The commonest site appears to be retroperitoneum and hilum of gonads. Hernial sac housing an aberrant adrenocortical nodule is rare and may be misdiagnosed as metastatic renal cell carcinoma or malignant melanoma. We report this case for its rarity
