Abstract

Ectopic adrenal tissue is a benign lesion generally determined incidentally during a surgical intervention applied for another reason. This tissue may be present along the path of the testicles and groin discovered during surgery. While the condition has been mainly reported in the pediatric population, it is very rarely reported in adults. The aim of this study was to present an adult patient with ectopic adrenal tissue which was determined incidentally within an indirect inguinal hernia sac

Özet

Ektopik adrenal doku genellikle başka bir amaçla yapılan cerrahi girişimlerde tesadüfen saptanan benign bir lezyondur. Bu lezyon kasık cerrahisisırasında, testislerin iniş yolu boyunca fark edilebilir. Bu durum genellikle çocuk hastalarda görülmekle birlikte; çok nadir olarak yetişkinlerdebildirilmektedir. Biz bu çalışmamızda; yetişkin bir hastada, indirekt inguinal fıtık kesesi içinde tesadüfen saptanan, ektopik adrenal doku olgusunusunduk.
