Ectopic adrenal cortical tissue has occasionally been documented. During a period of 18 months 152 children underwent operations for common inguinoscrotal pathology. In four cases ectopic adrenocortical tissue was found as a yellow nodule along the spermatic cord or hernia sac. Surgeons can recognize and remove it without any further investigation.

A 2-year old boy with torsion of colonic duplication, which had a proximal communication with the cecum via an incomplete duplicated appendix, is presented. The clinical picture and complications of this rare association are discussed.
