Ectopic adrenal tissues at orchidopexy in children: A case series
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ectopic adrenal tissue is rare in children. Although its excision is recommended when found incidentally during inguinal surgical procedures, routine exploration is not indicated for the detection of its presence. Here, we present eight cases of ectopic adrenal tissue in pediatric patients who underwent orchidopexy.

BACKGROUND It is difficult to explain ectopic thyroid beneath the diaphragm because during the development the thyroid descends from the tongue to the anterior of the trachea. A few cases of ectopic lesions have been reported in the literature for abdominal organs including the adrenal glands, but the mechanism by which the thyroid components migrate into the abdomen has been poorly understood....
متن کاملTesticular Ectopia in the Anterior Abdominal Wall of a Neonate: A Rare Site of Ectopic Testis
BACKGROUND Abnormal testicular descent can either be undescended or, less commonly, ectopic. Most undescended testes complete the course of descent by the first year of life only if these remain in the normal path of descent. The deviation of the testis may occur to an ectopic location during the transinguinal phase. Of the known ectopic sites, the anterior abdominal wall is the rarest site of ...
