Abstract

Objective: A case of a nonfunctioning ectopic adrenal tissue tumor in the epipidymis is described.<br />Methods/results: A case of a nonfunctioning ectopic adrenal tissue tumor in the epipidymis is presented. A left testicular mass had been incidentally detected in this patient.<br />Conclusions: Tumors of this type localized in the juxtafuniculogonadal region are usually benign. However, resection and histological analysis are always indicated in order to detect metastasis or confirm the histiological type is normal.
