Aberrant Adrenal Tissue

Ectopic adrenal tissue in adults

“…Normann, Havnen and Mjolnerod (1971) reported a case of neuroblastoma in 2 ectopic glands in an 11-month-old child. Carcinomas have occasionally been reported (Schechter, 1968). Adenomatous hyperplasia can occur as an independent phenomenon or in association with similar changes in the adrenals proper.…”

“…Renal-adrenal adherence will also cause problems during nephrectomy if not recognized. David and Kardos (Schechter, 1968) reported a death from adrenal insufficiency following hepatic resection, the liver containing a heterotopic adrenal gland. Pengelly (1959) excised a phaeochromocytoma from within the renal capsule.…”

Evaluation of children with inguinoscrotal ectopic adrenal tissues

“…The embryologic development of the medulla and cortex are also different (1). The cortex is formed from the proliferation of mesenchymal cells in the region between the mesentery root of the coelomic epithelium and gonadal draft between the 4th and 5th embryonal weeks.…”

“…After ectopic adrenal tissue was first identified by Morgagni in the 1700s, several nodules of ectopic adrenal tissue were reported in many sites of the body, such as the kidney, coeliac axis, thorax, liver, lungs, and brain, and in association with the genitalia (1,(5)(6)(7).…”
