Abstract

To report a case of unusual ectopic adrenal cortex in adult. A 35-year-old male consulted for vasectomy. During the procedure, a small right epididymal cyst was incidentally found. The ductus deferens was not identified. It was decided to achieve the treatment with a surgical exploration and the cyst was excised from the epididymis. The pathological analysis showed a nodule with microscopic adrenocortical tissue. Ectopic adrenal cortex is normally seen in children. Epididymal localization in adults is a rare finding. Ectopic adrenal cortex is a benign lesion and no further investigation is mandatory.
