Core Tip
Core tip: Aberrant adrenal tissue can be found anywhere, but typically in the testes, ovaries, spermatic cord, and kidneys. The most common site is retroperitoneal fat near the adrenal gland; the bilateral lungs, liver, spleen, pancreas, colon, duodenum, and ovary are less common. This is, to our knowledge, the first report of adrenocortical cancer on the anterior abdominal wall in the English-language literature.
