Case report: An ectopic adrenocortical adenoma in the renal sinus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ectopic adrenal tissue is rare in adults, with an incidence of only about 1%. We report a rare case of ectopic adrenocortical adenoma in the left renal sinus.

Case preentation

A 57-year-old woman was admitted to the Department of Urology due to "a left kidney tumor" on physical examination. Multislice helical computed tomography (CT) showed the left kidney with an anterior lip mass near the hilum, approximately 2.3 cm × 2.2 cm in size. Preoperative renal artery CT angiography (CTA) showed no obvious abnormality. Laparoscopic resection of the left renal sinus mass was performed, and postoperative pathological findings showed ectopic adrenocortical adenoma. The tumor was a nonfunctional adenoma.

Conclusion

Renal ectopic adrenal cortical adenoma is rare. Most
