“…11 One case study reported metastasis of esophageal adenocarcinoma to the ovaries as a Krukenberg tumor in a 41-year-old woman, with immunohistochemistry positive staining for CDX2 and CK20. 8 A second case study was a 28-year-old woman with adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction who presented with abdominal swelling that appeared to be an inguinal hernia. However, she was instead found to have advanced esophageal disease and a Krukenberg tumor.…”

“… 7 However, scant literature has been published regarding metastasis to the female reproductive tract, with only 2 published cases demonstrating esophageal metastasis to the ovaries. 8 , 9 Early detection may prevent unproductive treatment and improve prognosis. 2 We report a case of esophageal adenocarcinoma metastasizing to the bilateral ovaries and 1 fallopian tube.…”

Esophageal cancer is common and typically metastasizes to the liver, lung, and lymph nodes. Reproductive tract metastases are extremely rare. In fact, to the best of our knowledge, only 2 cases of esophageal carcinoma metastasizing to the ovaries have been reported. Thus, increased recognition of unusual metastatic sites is necessary to decrease the morbidity and mortality from distant esophageal metastases. We present a case of ovarian and fallopian tube metastases from esophageal adenocarcinoma in a 59-year-old woman.

Ectopia of nodular adrenocortical tissue is very frequently found in the periadrenal region. It corresponds to accessory adrenal tissue and is a normal variant. Ectopia in more distant regions are found in inner male or female genitalia. Strong long-lasting hyperstimultions induce hyperplasia and simulate true tumors ("adrenal rest tumors"). Real autonomic tumors from ectopic adrenal tissue with or without hyperfunction are rare. Ectopia of adrenomedullary tissue are nearly exclusively found in the surroundings of normal medulla. Ectopia in the adrenals corresponds almost exclusively with thyroid tissue. Ectopic secretion of hormones, mostly ACTH, can be found in pheochromocytomas and induces hyperfunction (Cushing's syndrome).
