Abstract

Adrenal rest tumors are aberrant adrenocortical tissue which has been most commonly described in abdominal and pelvic sites. To our knowledge, there has been no previous description of an adrenal rest tumor of the greater omentum. We present a case of a pathologically confirmed adrenal rest tumor of the greater omentum in a 76-year-old man.

부신잔류종양은 대부분 복부와 골반강에서 보고되는 이소성 부신피질 조직이며 저자들이 조사한 바로는 아직 대망에서 생긴 경우는 보고된 적이 없다. 우리는 병리학적으로 확인된 76세 남자 환자의 대망에 생긴 부신잔류종양을 보고하고자 한다.
