Ectopic adrenal tissue in the mesosalpinx of an older female: the fourth case report in the literature

Ectopic adrenal tissue is a rare finding often encountered incidentally during histopathological examinations. The most common site is the genitourinary tract and pelvis, and more frequently in males than females. Ectopic adrenal tissue is primarily found in neonates and is extremely rare in adults. Although it is an unexpected entity, pathologists should be aware of it because it may be confused with metastasis of clear cell renal carcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, only three cases of ectopic adrenal tissue in the mesosalpinx of the fallopian tube have been reported in the medical literature, making this case the fourth one. In our report, we discussed an ectopic adrenal tissue that was discovered incidentally in the mesosalpinx of an older female.
