Evaluation of children with inguinoscrotal ectopic adrenal tissues

Abstract

Weight−length relationships (WLRs) for 28 fi sh species were investigated in an enclosed basin in the Sea of Marmara. Due to low sample sizes (<15), 11 species were not taken into account, but length results were represented. WLR information for 8 species was taken for the fi rst time in the Sea of Marmara, and these 8 species were examined according to sex. Parameters b were found to be insignifi cant between the sexes (P > 0.05). In this study, WLRs for Pomatoschistus marmoratus are presented for the fi rst time in Turkish waters. Additionally, this study represents the fi rst results for the entire Sea of Marmara and carries signifi cant importance for the WLR database in light of previous studies, which only provided information for limited parts of this sea.

Ectopic Adrenal Gland Tissue In The Inguinal Hernia Sac Occuring In An Adult

“…Currently, majority of the cases of ectopic adrenal tissue are known to be encountered in the retroperitoneal area, the kidney parenchyma, the celiac plexus, thorax, liver capsule, lungs brain and less often in the spermatic cord, testis and the surrounding tissues (2). In the literature, it has been noted that the majority, primarily in the pediatric age group, are determined incidentally during surgery (1,3). In contrast to the literature, the case presented here is 35 years old.…”

“…They develop in the form of multiple primordial or separately secondary to the main gland. If they are close to the main gland, they include the medulla (1,4). Therefore, the majority of ectopic adrenal tissues seen in the spermatic cord or the epididymis are formed from the cortex section only.…”

“…Ectopic adrenal tissue within an inguinal hernia sac, as in the current case, is rarely seen in adults. The reason for this is that over time, ectopic adrenal tissue becomes atrophied (1). In their search in the English literature, Mendez et al (3) have found 117 reported cases in infants and children and only 25 cases in adults.…”

“…The observation of adrenal tissue ectopically in other localizations was first described by Morgagni in 1740 (1). Currently, majority of the cases of ectopic adrenal tissue are known to be encountered in the retroperitoneal area, the kidney parenchyma, the celiac plexus, thorax, liver capsule, lungs brain and less often in the spermatic cord, testis and the surrounding tissues (2).…”

Laparoscopic Finding of Ectopic Adrenocortical Tissue in a 2-Year-Old Boy with Vanishing Testis

“… 1 Some cases of EAT have also been reported in girls, although the lower incidence in girls is not easy to explain. Oğuz et al, 12 in a multicenter study, reported an incidence of EAT of 2.02% out of a total of 296 male patients who had inguinoscrotal surgery between 2009 and 2011. Vaos et al 13 reported a comprehensive incidence of 2.5% of EAT in 316 inguinoscrotal operations performed on 289 consecutive patients (0.7% in girls and 1.8% in boys).…”
