Abstract:
Presentation of one case of ectopic suprarenal tissue residues' tumour found at paravesical level. The singularity of this diagnosis, unless hormonally active, or when very large in size, as well as its various locations is recalled. Ultrasound, CAT and hormone characterization are the mainstays to achieve clinical diagnosis. Surgery is always the course adopted. Only when such an option is unsuitable, drugs are used to block the steroidogenesis.
