Ectopic adrenal tissue is a rare finding often encountered incidentally during histopathological examinations. The most common site is the genitourinary tract and pelvis, and more frequently in males than females. Ectopic adrenal tissue is primarily found in neonates and is extremely rare in adults. Although it is an unexpected entity, pathologists should be aware of it because it may be confused with metastasis of clear cell renal carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of ectopic adrenal tissue in the mesosalpinx of the fallopian tube have been reported in the medical literature, making this case the fourth one. In our report, we discussed an ectopic adrenal tissue that was discovered incidentally in the mesosalpinx of an older female.
异位肾上腺组织是一种罕见的发现,常在组织病理学检查中偶然遇到。最常见的部位是泌尿生殖道和盆腔,男性比女性更常见。异位肾上腺组织主要见于新生儿,在成人中极为罕见。尽管它是一个意外发现的实体,但病理学家应该对此有所了解,因为它可能与透明细胞肾癌细胞转移相混淆。据我们所知,医学文献中仅报道了3例输卵管中输卵管系膜内的异位肾上腺组织病例,此病例为第4例。在我们的报告中,我们讨论了一名老年女性输卵管系膜内偶然发现的异位肾上腺组织。
