Nodules of the ectopic adrenal cortex were identified in hernia sacs in 5 men. This condition seems to result from developing adrenal cortical tissue accompanying a descending testis. Ectopic adrenal must be distinguished from metastatic clear cell carcinoma. Such ectopic foci could potentially result in neoplasms or be a source of hormone production after adrenalectomy.
在5名男性的疝囊中发现了异位肾上腺皮质结节。这种情况似乎是由伴随睾丸下降的肾上腺皮质组织发育所致。异位肾上腺必须与转移性透明细胞癌相鉴别。此类异位病灶可能会引发肿瘤,或者在肾上腺切除术后成为激素产生的来源。
