Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Endocrinology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Ectopic adrenal cortex is a rare congenital anomaly.
  • Renal cell carcinoma is a common kidney malignancy.
  • Co-occurrence of these conditions presents diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A case of coexisting ectopic adrenal cortex and renal cell carcinoma is presented.
  • Computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of accessory adrenal tissue.
  • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging characteristics of the ectopic adrenal cortex were noted.

Findings:

  • The study details the diagnostic process for concurrent ectopic adrenal cortex and renal cell carcinoma.
  • CT-guided biopsy proved effective for diagnosing accessory adrenal tissue.
  • MR imaging provided specific characteristics for identifying ectopic adrenal cortex.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering ectopic adrenal cortex in renal mass differential diagnoses.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on integrating imaging findings and biopsy results.
  • Understanding MR characteristics aids in differentiating ectopic adrenal tissue from renal tumors.
