Ectopic Adrenocortical Tissue in the Spermatic Cord in a 44-Year-old Man()

We report on a 44-year-old man who underwent microsurgical inguinal repair for symptomatic varicocele. As an incidental finding during surgery, a yellowish tumor (9 × 5 × 4 mm) was found in the spermatic cord. Histologic examination revealed ectopic adrenocortical tissue. Ectopic adrenocortical tiss...

description We report on a 44-year-old man who underwent microsurgical inguinal repair for symptomatic varicocele. As an incidental finding during surgery, a yellowish tumor (9 × 5 × 4 mm) was found in the spermatic cord. Histologic examination revealed ectopic adrenocortical tissue. Ectopic adrenocortical tissue in the spermatic cord is known to appear in children and adolescents but is extremely rare in adults. Surgical removal of the tissue is recommended, although malignant transformation or functional hormonal disorders are very unlikely.
