Ectopic adrenal tissue (EAT) is an extremely unusual finding. The most common site is the genitourinary tract and pelvis, and more frequently in males than females. In our report, we discuss an ectopic adrenal cortical tissue detected in the descending mesocolon in an elderly female. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first report in the English literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
