Abstract

Niveditha S. R1, Manjula C. P2, Sudarshan Babu K. G3

ABSTRACT: Accessory adrenal tissue is commonly seen in children during groin explorations; however it is a rare finding in adults. The commonest site appears to be retroperitoneum and hilum of gonads. Hernial sac housing an aberrant adrenocortical nodule is rare and may be misdiagnosed as metastatic renal cell carcinoma or malignant melanoma. We report this case for its rarity.
